Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11
SYMPTOMS
You are using a Procom Technology SCSI disk driver, and the Microsoft
Windows Setup program stops responding (hangs) when checking the system
configuration.
CAUSE
Procom Technology's SCSI disk driver revision 1.3, September 1991,
(filename: SCSIDISK.SYS) causes this problem.
WORKAROUND
Doing one of the following allows the Windows 3.1 Setup program to
function properly:
- Comment (remark) out the SMARTDRV line in the CONFIG.SYS or
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. (To do this, open the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT
file in a text editor and type REM at the beginning of the SMARTDRV
line.)
-or-
- Comment (remark) out the DEVICE=SCSIDISK.SYS line in the CONFIG.SYS
file. (To do this, open the CONFIG.SYS file in a text editor and type
REM at the beginning of the DEVICE=SCSIDISK.SYS line.)
After Windows 3.1 Setup has completed, you can reactivate the commented-out
line. (To do this, open the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file in a text
editor and delete REM from the beginning of the line.)
