SUMMARY
=======
If you are running Windows version 3.1 on a Novell network and cannot run MS-DOS
Prompt, the Windows 3.1 VPICD driver may not be loaded. When you attempt to run
MS-DOS Prompt, it either will not run or you will receive the following error
message:
INVALID VxD DYNAMIC LINK CALL TO # 0003, SERVICE 0013
To correct this problem, edit the [386 Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.
Change the line that reads DEVICE=VPICDA.386, to DEVICE=*VPICD. This loads the
latest VPICD driver that ships with Windows 3.1.
MORE INFORMATION
================
VPICDA.386 was written by Novell to work with Microsoft Windows 3.0. Do not use
this driver with Windows 3.1. Instead, use the VPICD device driver that is built
into Windows 3.1.
If you receive the following error message as well, you should remark out
SETVER.EXE from the CONFIG.SYS file:
Unsupported MS DOS Version
Note: Before remarking out SETVER.EXE, make sure you are not loading device
drivers for your hard disk that require SETVER.EXE.
