SYMPTOMS
If you install Systems Management Server client software on a computer running Windows 3.1, and VSafe was started from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, WIN.INI LOAD= entry, WIN.INI RUN= entry, or from the Startup group, several error messages appear referring to the Systems Manager Server client software files. The following is one of the error messages that appears on a Windows 3.1 computer:

SMS caused a fatal exception error at in VXD VMM



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, change the entry of VSafe to "VSAFE /8-" (without the quotation marks), or:

 Clean boot to MS-DOS and run VSafe (Detect and Clean). Run SMSLS and exit Windows. You may receive an error message from VSafe. Choose the Update option and reboot the computer. When the following error message appears, run VSafe (Detect and Clean) again:

Access to the specified device, path or file is denied.

 If you receive errors during verification of files, choose Update on all files and reboot the computer. Install the Systems Management Server client software again.
