EGA.SYS Doesn't Load for Windows 3.1

 * }

Q82456

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

-

SYMPTOMS
When you use the MS-DOS SETUP /N command to install a shared copy of Microsoft Windows to a network drive on a machine with an EGA monitor, Setup adds the following line to the CONFIG.SYS file

  DEVICE=X:\WINPATH\EGA.SYS where X is the net drive.

As a result, when you boot the machine, EGA.SYS doesn't get loaded because the network has not started yet.

RESOLUTION
To correct this, copy EGA.SYS from the net drive to the local hard disk, floppy boot disk, or remote boot area on the network and modify the CONFIG.SYS file.
