DOCUMENT:Q65691 30-JUL-2001 [lanman] TITLE :Cannot Load NETLOGON.PRO from within Windows 3.00 PRODUCT :Microsoft LAN Manager PROD/VER: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== SYMPTOMS ======== NETLOGON.PRO does not load correctly when you log in from within the Windows version 3.00 Control Panel if you use version 3.00 of LANMAN.DRV, which is shipped with Windows version 3.00. CAUSE ===== The MS-DOS LAN Manager installer does not recognize the existence of the Windows LANMAN.DRV file. RESOLUTION ========== Manually delete or rename LANMAN.DRV. MORE INFORMATION ================ When you try to log in, version 3.00 of LANMAN.DRV tries to run $(LANROOT)\PROFILES\???.PRO (which does all of the USES when a user logs in) and either: 1. fails to execute the profile --or-- 2. fails to execute the profile, flips to a full-screen window, and puts up an "Invalid Drive Specification" error This problem does not occur if you use a NET LOGON command before starting Windows, or if you use version 3.01 of LANMAN.DRV (that is, if you rename or delete the version of this file that is shipped with Windows version 3.00). Version 3.01 of LANMAN.DRV is shipped with MS-DOS LAN Manager version 2.00. Please note that this problem is different from the LOGON SCRIPT problem that occurs when loading a profile from Windows.
