======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When you are using Novell files from WINUP9.EXE and you start Windows for
Workgroups version 3.11, you receive the following error message:

   Cannot Find NWGDI.DLL

-or-

   NWDRV-3.00-00: The NetWare VLM is not loaded or is not configured correctly.
   All network functions are disabled.

CAUSE
=====

This error is displayed if one of the following conditions exists:

 - You are using NETWARE.DRV and are running virtual loadable modules (VLMs).

 - You allow Windows for Workgroups 3.11 Setup to add the files from WINUP9.EXE,
   or you are using the NetWare VLM Client Kit 1.02 to install the files from
   WINUP9.EXE. Neither Windows for Workgroups Setup nor the NetWare VLM Client
   Kit 1.02 copy the new file (NWGDI.DLL) to the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory.
   You must have NWGDI.DLL to run the new NETWARE.DRV with VLMs.

 - NETWARE.DRV is incorrectly installed for use with VLM.EXE. If this is the
   case, you need to reinstall NETWARE.DRV for use with NETX.EXE.

 - You are running an IPXODI or a monolithic IPX configuration and have the VLM
   NETWARE.DRV or VLM NETWARE.HLP file in your Windows SYSTEM subdirectory.

RESOLUTION
==========

If you are using NetWare VLM.EXE client software, copy NETWARE.DRV and NWGDI.DLL
from the VLMDRVS directory, which is created when you expand WINUP9.EXE to your
Windows SYSTEM subdirectory.

The dates and file sizes are as follows:

Configuration                Filename       File size       File date
---------------------------------------------------------------------

VLM configurations           NETWARE.DRV      146,736         11-24-93
