SYMPTOMS
When you start Windows with Network Client version 3.0 for MS-DOS, the
following error message appears:
File Error
Cannot find NETAPI.DLL
When you choose Close, the following appears:
File Error
Cannot find PMSPL.DLL
CAUSE
This problem occurs in one of the following situations:
- If LAN Manager version 2.0 Enhanced driver (LANMAN.DRV) is installed as
the network driver in Windows version 3.1 Setup.
- If LAN Manager version 2.1 Enhanced driver (LANMAN21.DRV) is installed
as the network driver in Windows version 3.1 Setup and the network is
currently running. If the network is not running when Windows starts,
the network driver for "Microsoft Network (or 100% compatible)"
(MSNET.DRV) is installed. However, Windows version 3.1 Setup displays
that LAN Manager version 2.1 Enhanced driver is installed.
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:
- Start Windows Setup (either from the Main group in Windows or from the
WINDOWS directory in MS-DOS).
- Change the network to "Microsoft Network (or 100% compatible)."
- Restart Windows.
