WFWG 3.11 Err Msg: Error 2138: The Workstation Service...Last reviewed: November 21, 1994Article ID: Q107572 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSIf you try to run an MS-DOS-based application in an MS-DOS virtual machine (VM), the program may not start, or you may receive the following error message:
Error 2138: The workstation service has not been started. CAUSEThis error can be caused by running an application that calls the DosMakeMailslot function after you have started the real-mode redirector.
RESOLUTIONRather than using the real-mode redirector, use the protected-mode redirector (virtual redirector).
MORE INFORMATIONThe error message is misleading since you have started the workstation services. When running the real-mode redirector, mailslots are not supported in virtual machines.
