Wang's WINLOC Interface May Hang Windows for Workgroups

Last reviewed: November 21, 1994

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11

SUMMARY

Wang's WINLOC program causes Windows for Workgroups to stop responding (hang) when you attempt to communicate with the Wang VS network.

CAUSE

The WINLOC program is a driver/protocol configuration that is designed to work specifically with the Wang WLOC network card. WINLOC takes preemptive control of the network interface card, which puts it in conflict with the Windows for Workgroups network redirector.

There is no workaround at this time.
