SYMPTOMS
When you are running Microsoft Word 2.x for Windows, you cannot load files
using a universal naming convention (UNC) path specification.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when you are using the Microsoft Client for NetWare
Networks as one of the network clients in Windows 95. Word 2.x for Windows
recognizes that NetWare is present and translates the UNC names to the
Novell NetWare naming convention, which is incompatible with the Windows 95
method of network communications, the server message block (SMB) data
structure.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, either update Word for Windows to version 6.0, or
remove the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks component.
