Windows Err Msg: Invalid VxD... Device # 0484, Service 800D...

ID: Q123095

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11

SYMPTOMS

The following error message may occur when you start Windows for Workgroups version 3.11:

Invalid VxD dynamic link call to device # 0484, service 800D. Your Windows configuration is invalid. Run the Windows Setup program again to correct this problem.

After receiving this message, you cannot enter Windows.

CAUSE

This error message is caused by either a corrupted IFSMGR.386 file, or a missing device line in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file.

RESOLUTION

To correct this error, verify that the device line exists in the SYSTEM.INI file. If necessary, edit the SYSTEM.INI file with a text editor, such as Windows Notepad or MS-DOS Editor, and add the following line to the [386Enh] section:

device=ifsmgr.386

Then, expand the file from your original Windows for Workgroups 3.11 disk set to your Windows SYSTEM subdirectory. For example, if your hard disk is drive C and your Windows directory is called WINDOWS, type the following command:

c:\windows\expand a:\ifsmgr.38_ c:\windows\system\ifsmgr.386

NOTE: The file IFSMGR.38_ is located on Disk 4 of the 3.5-inch disk set and Disk 5 of the 5.25-inch disk set.

For more information about using the EXPAND command, type "EXPAND /?" (without the quotation marks) at an MS-DOS command prompt.
