 * Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.1

This article was previously published under Q90528



SYMPTOMS
If a network driver is not listed in the NETWORK.INF file, Windows for Workgroups Setup version 3.1 does not remove it from either the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT file.



CAUSE
Windows for Workgroups Setup uses the [delete_netware] and [delete_drivers] sections of the NETWORK.INF file to determine what files to delete when installing new network drivers over existing network drivers.

If a driver has been renamed (for example, renamed IPX.COM to MYIPX.COM), or is not listed (a special driver for uncommon network cards), Setup does not remove the driver or its references from either the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, remove the driver and references by manually editing the CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT files.
