DigiBoard 2Port Adapter Setup Fails with U.S. Service Pack 1

 Last reviewed: May 13, 1997
Article ID: Q108413
The information in this article applies to:
  • U.S. Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

If you set up the DigiBoard 2Port Adapter, after installing U.S. Service Pack 1, the Port Settings dialog box, used to enumerate and install additional COM ports, is not displayed. Therefore, some of the configuration parameters are not correctly written to the Registry. If you restart your computer, you receive an error message. If you use the Network portion of Control Panel to remove the driver, you still receive an error message.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, remove the adapter (ignoring the error message) and replace the OEMNADDS.INF file of Service Pack 1 with the version supplied from your original Windows NT media (build 511) using the EXPAND command. Reinstall the adapter using the Network portion of Control Panel. This version is smaller in size (62182), therefore possible incompatibilities with other DigiBoard drivers could exist.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft U.S. Service Pack 1 for Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
