The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.51, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to run the Btrieve for Windows NT software from Windows NT, the following error message may appear:

Can't load VDM ipx/spx support.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:

Check for the following entries in the Autoexec.nt file:


   lh %SystemRoot%\system32\nw16
   lh %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx

If the entries are present, check to see whether the following associated files actually exist:
```
      %SystemRoot%\system32\nw16.exe
      %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx.exe
      %SystemRoot%\system32\vwipxspx.dll 
```
If these associated files do not exist, expand them from the Windows NT CD-ROM or install Gateway Services for NetWare (GSNW) or Client Services for NetWare (CSNW) which will correctly copy these files to their appropriate locations.
