The following information applies to:
- Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11
SYMPTOMS
If you run Windows version 3.1 in 386 Enhanced or Standard Mode while
connected to Banyan Vines network version 4.10 or 5.00, and you
attempt to run an MS-DOS-based application, the following error
message may be displayed:
The switch has been prevented. Cannot start application.
CAUSE
This error message may occur because Windows has not been set up with
the proper network driver, or is set up for "No Network" (without the
quotation marks).
WORKAROUND
After receiving the above error message, check the maintenance mode of
the Windows Setup program, and make sure the system setting for
Network is Banyan VINES (and the appropriate version). If it is not,
change the setting using either of the following methods:
- Choose the Windows Setup icon from the Main group in Program
Manager.
- From the Options menu, select "Change System Settings..."
- Select "Banyan VINES (Version 4.1 or Version 5.0)" from the available
choices, and follow the instructions from the Setup program.
- OR -
- Exit Windows.
- Change to the current Windows subdirectory, and type
setup
- Use the arrow keys to highlight the network information, and press
the ENTER key.
- Select "Banyan VINES (version 4.1)" and press ENTER.
- Press ENTER to accept the configuration, then follow the instructions
from the Setup program.
If Banyan VINES (Version 4.1) is your selected network, and you still
receive the error message above, then your setup probably failed. Try
removing and reinstalling support for network as follows:
- Choose the Windows Setup icon from the Main group in Program
Manager.
- From the Options menu, select "Change System Settings..."
- Select "No Network Installed" from the available choices, then
follow the instructions from the Setup program.
- Run Windows Setup again.
- From the Options menu, select "Change System Settings..."
- Select "Banyan VINES (version 4.1)" from the available choices,
then follow the instructions from the Setup program.
