Proteon 1390 Fails to Initialize During Installation

Last reviewed: October 4, 1995
Article ID: Q137695
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5 and 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51

SYMPTOMS

When you run Windows NT Setup on your computer with a Proteon 1390 Token Ring adapter installed, errors appear during the initialization of the Proteon 1390 Token Ring adapter and the adapter initialization fails.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, do one of the following:

  • If you do not plan to set up Windows NT Server as a backup domain controller (BDC):

          Ignore the errors during Setup and continue with the installation.
          The driver functions properly after you reboot your computer in spite
          of the errors during Setup.
    

    -or-

  • If you plan to set up Windows NT as a BDC:

          It is necessary that your adapter initializes during Setup so it can
          contact the primary domain controller (PDC) for security purposes.
          For this reason, temporarily install another supported Token Ring
          adapter before you run Windows NT Setup. After Windows NT is
          installed, replace the existing adapter and driver with the Proteon
          1390 adapter.
    

STATUS
