The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you run Remove All to de-install the Win16 Exchange client, and then restart the computer, Windows may produce the following error:

  1. Edit the System.ini file and remove the following entry in the [386Enh] section: 

          Device={ShivaPath}\dial.386

  2. Restart Windows.
