Requesting OEM Disk When Changing System Settings

ID: Q83547


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11


SUMMARY

When you use the keyboard to change system settings by running Windows Setup and choosing Change System Settings from the Options menu, you can scroll to the left (up) or to the right (down) by using the arrow keys to view selections.

If you scroll all the way to the right, a dialog box will appear requesting the insertion of a display, keyboard, mouse, or network driver disk provided by the hardware manufacturer. Although this does not create a problem, it can be an unexpected inconvenience when scrolling through these selections.


MORE INFORMATION

Press the ESC key or Cancel button to close this dialog box without modifying the current selection. If you are using a mouse, this dialog box will not appear until the selection for "Other xxxxxxx (Requires disk from OEM)..." is entered (where xxxxxxx is display, keyboard, mouse, or network drivers).

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
