WFWG Err Msg: The NetWare Shell Has Not Been Loaded...

ID: Q93735

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1

SUMMARY

When Novell NetWare connectivity is installed and subsequently removed from Windows for Workgroups, NetWarn=1 is NOT removed from the [Windows] section of the WIN.INI file.

Normally if the value of NetWarn= is 1, and if Novell NetWare connectivity is installed, and if MSIPX and NETX are not loaded, the following warning message appears when Windows for Workgroups is started:

The NetWare Shell has not been loaded.
All Network functions will be disabled.

If Novell NetWare connectivity is removed, the warning message does not appear when Windows for Workgroups is started.

MORE INFORMATION

Some applications, such as Fifth Generation Systems FastBack Plus Windows version 1.0, may cause Windows for Workgroups to display the above warning message, indicating that the NetWare shell has not been loaded, even though the message may be invalid because Novell NetWare connectivity may not be installed. This error may also cause the system to stop responding (hang).

Workaround

To work around the problem, use a text editor to change the NetWarn= value to 0 in the [Windows] section of the WIN.INI file or remove the NetWarn= line entirely.
