Problems Running Windows 3.1 After Installing Desktop 1.0

 * }

Q82721

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

-

SUMMARY
After you install Norton Desktop for Windows (NDW) version 1.0 or 1.1, you may have trouble restarting Windows version 3.1. This is due to the DEVICE=VDMADX.386 that NDW automatically adds to the SYSTEM.INI file.

MORE INFORMATION
VDMADX.386 replaces the internal 386 enhance mode virtual device driver *VDMAD. If VDMADX.386 is not compatible with your system, Windows may exit to the MS-DOS command line when being started, or you may receive an error message indicating that the incorrect version of VDMAD is installed.

If either of these problems occur, replace DEVICE=VDMADX.386 with DEVICE=*vdmad in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. The Windows 3.1 version of *VDMAD should be compatible with NDW.
