Cause and prerequisites

Configuration of the PC.

Solution

Concerning the configuration of the PC, the following can be pointed out:
REM CONFIG.SYS e.g: for Windows for Workgroups !
REM =============================================================
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS/testmem:off
FILES=81
REM FILES should be set to the highest possible value! We
REM recommend an odd (!) value!!!

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 512 RAM X=D800-DBFF X=CC00-CDFF
REM For a network card, you must reserve an area
REM e.g: X=D800-DBFF a.X=CC00-CDFF. In addition, we recommend to
REM have at least 512 KB RAM available!

DOS=HIGH,UMB
COUNTRY=049,850,C:\DOS\COUNTRY.SYS
SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:1024 /p
STACKS=9,256
DEVICEHIGH =C:\DOS\ANSI.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS
REM Network driver for Windows

L/(TDRIVE=Z


REM AUTOEXEC.BAT e.g: for Windows for Workgroups !
REM =============================================================

ho off LH C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV A- B-
REM SMARTDRV.EXE uses the storage more effectively than BUFFERS !

C:\WINDOWS\NET START
REM Starting the WFW network

PROMPT $p$g
PATH C:\WINDOWS;C:\DOS;D:\BAT;C:\;
SET TEMP=C:\TMP
LH C:\DOS\KEYB GR,,C:\DOS\KEYBOARD.SYS

Problems can also occur with: =============================

• loaded SHARE.EXE. This program is no longer needed with Windows 3.11 anyway and should be deleted when problems occur!

• Activated video or system cache. Then the BIOS settings are to be checked and changed. Normally "disable" or switching off video cache or system cache helps!!!
