  • Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a

SYMPTOMS

If you run Microsoft Windows 3.0 in enhanced mode, you may experience problems printing and/or problems running the MS-DOS Prompt when you use Brightworks Development Site Lock 3.1 with a Novell network. Symptoms include the following:

  • When you try to print from Windows in enhanced mode, Windows may not print or may lock up while trying to print.
  • When you run the MS-DOS Prompt full-screen from Windows in enhanced mode, the following error message may appear: 

          APPLICATION HAS VIOLATED SYSTEM INTEGRITY

WORKAROUNDS

Printing

Brightworks Development suggests the following workaround:

  1. Run Control Panel, select Printers and choose Configure.

  2. Change the printer port to LPT1.OS2.

  3. Choose OK twice and exit the Control Panel.

NOTE: When you print with the Site Lock 3.1 utility, the LPTx.OS2 workaround/testing port is used. As a result, printouts may not be reliable when you print graphics to non-PostScript printers.

Running the MS-DOS Prompt

To correct problems when you run MS-DOS Prompt, Brightworks Development suggests that you do the following:

  1. Use the PIF Editor to set up a PIF file for COMMAND.COM, as follows: 

        - Under Display Usage, select Full Screen, and under Execution,
      select Exclusive.

    -or- 

        - Under Display Usage, select Windowed, and under Execution, select
      Background.

  2. Contact Novell to obtain the latest version of the file VNETWARE.386. This file is also available on CompuServe in the Novell forum.
