ID: Q146438

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you start Windows 95, you may receive one of the following error messages:

- VTCPRACT

The network telesystems PPP/SLIP virtual device driver is not installed, so the networking telesystems TCP driver will not be loaded.

- VTCPRACT

Neither the Network Telesystems nor the Shiva PPP/SLIP virtual device driver is installed.

CAUSE

These error messages can occur if an incomplete set of third-party networking drivers is installed.

RESOLUTION

To work around these error messages, disable the following three lines in the [386Enh] section of the System.ini file in the Windows folder:


   Device=<path>Vntstimd.exe
   Device=<path>Vntspsd.386
   Device=<path>Vtcprac.386

To disable a line in the System.ini file, place a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line.
