Title: WFWG Setup May Not Detect Existing 32-Bit Disk Access Drivers
Document Number: Q106082 Publ Date: 12-JUL-1994
Product Name: Windows For Workgroups
Product Version: 3.11
Operating System: WINDOWS

---------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you upgrade a Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.1 installation
to Windows for Workgroups 3.11, Setup may not detect existing 32-Bit Disk
Access drivers. As a result, Setup may add a second set of entries for the
default 32-Bit Disk Access drivers, resulting in an error message at
startup.

CAUSE
=====

Windows for Workgroups Setup does not check for a path statement when
looking for 32-Bit Disk Access drivers. For example, it would find
DEVICE=CPQWDCTRL.386 but would notfind DEVICE=C:\CPQ\CPQWDCTL.386.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, edit the SYSTEM.INI file and remove the
following lines from the [386Enh] section:

device=*wdctrl
device=*int13

Additional reference words: wfw wfwg 3.11 fastdisk cpqint13.386 cpq int13
int 13 386 cpqwdctrl.386 access drivers
