Detection Hangs with NE2000 While Running Lantastic Drivers

ID: Q132584

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you run hardware detection in Windows 95 on a computer that is configured for a LANtastic network, your computer locks up.

CAUSE

Windows 95 cannot perform safe detection on a computer with LANtastic drivers running. Unsafe detection on network cards can make a computer lock up.

RESOLUTION

Run Windows 95 Setup again and select the Safe Recovery option. After Setup is finished, make sure the IRQ for the network card is detected correctly by starting Device Manager and checking the properties of the network card on the Resources tab. If the IRQ is not correct, you need to select the correct IRQ manually.

MORE INFORMATION

The LANtastic network is manufactured by Artisoft, Inc., a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
