Device Drivers No Longer Provided with the ProductThe following devices drivers were provided with Windows 3.1 but are NOT provided with Windows for Workgroups version 3.1.
New Video DriverWindows for Workgroups provides a new video driver: the ET 4000. This video card is not automatically detected during Setup. You must install the driver for this card manually.Network Drivers No Longer Provided with Windows for Workgroups
Compatible Networks
New Network Drivers and Files

New Applications and Utilities
Windows 3.1 Programs/Files Not Included in Windows for Workgroups
Changes to the MS-DOS-Based Portion of SetupThe Workgroup upgrade for Microsoft Windows version 3.0 users and the Workgroup upgrade for Microsoft Windows version 3.1 users perform a version check and require a previous version of Windows installed on the system. Setup looks for the WIN.COM file.During hardware detection, networks supported for Windows 3.1 are detected to determine compatibility with Windows for Workgroups. Only Workgroup Connections, NetWare, and Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.1 are compatible with Windows for Workgroups. The networks list is not shown in the system settings; WFWNET.DRV is the only supported primary network for this version. NetWare can be added as a secondary network later in the Windows-based portion of Setup. SETUP /I disables hardware detection, including network software detection, and initiates Custom Setup instead of Express Setup by default. Changes to the Graphics-Based Portion of SetupThe first event in the graphics-based portion of Windows for Workgroups Setup is network card detection (NCD). If the system stops responding (hangs) at the transition from the MS-DOS-based portion of Setup to the Windows-based portion of Setup (at the blue "Windows Setup" screen), it is probably because of NCD.To recover from this situation, restart the computer and run Setup again. Setup leaves a flag in the SYSTEM.INI file so that NCD is not run the second time. Running Setup with the /I parameter also disables NCD. The user-information dialog box now contains computer name and workgroup in addition to the user's name and company. If MCSDEX.EXE or TBMI2.COM are in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, Setup copies a new version of these files to the WINDOWS directory and replaces the lines calling these files in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The /y parameter is also added to the MSCDEX line. The mouse is handled in a similar fashion. Network adapters, protocols, and secondary network drivers are added right after printer installation. The Exit Setup dialog box no longer contains the Restart Windows option because the network drivers (WORKGRP.SYS and so forth) must be loaded by restarting the computer. Changes to Maintenance Mode of SetupThe networks list is not shown in the system settings; WFWNET.DRV is the only supported primary network for this version. The Network Adapter and Compatible Networks dialog boxes are available from the Control Panel Networks option and are not available from Setup in maintenance mode.The products included here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.
