SYMPTOMS

When you remove a network adapter that was at one time bound to the Banyan Vines 32-bit network client, you may receive the following error message the next time you start your computer:

   Invalid Dynamic Link Call in Bancom (01) to device <number> service
   <number>

You may receive this error message even though Network properties does not list the Client for Banyan Networks or the Banyan Bancom 32-bit protocol.

CAUSE

When you remove the Banyan Vines 32-bit network client for Windows 95, the registry entry that loads the Bancom protocol may not be deleted.
