2371.0. "Hinote VP565 and Port-Replicator and Pathworks32" by ZUR01::SAVOLDELLI (Forza Atalanta Bergamo) Mon Apr 14 1997 12:51

Ciao a tuut

A costumer has a HINOTE VP 565 adn a Port Replicator. All works fine.

When Pathworks32 is installed, (only the License Agent) the notebook shuts down
when it tries to enable the license agent. 

When he removes the agent, the problem is gone.

Is this a known BUG ??

Thanks in advance for any HELP

2371.1I've seen the same thingSNOFS1::dhcp-172-128-32.dhcp.sno.dec.com::Ken JeffreysSun Apr 27 1997 23:1040
Hi,

	I have seen the same thing on these laptops with PW95 and PW32. Here's what I have 
found.

	The first time I had one of these machines I installed PW95a. After rebooting the 
machine it would get halfway through its boot and power down. This happens just after the 
machine has recognized the PCMCIA cards. When I powered the machine back up it would start in 
safe mode and was effectivly dead.

	I managed to get hold of another machine and this time I installed PW32 and the
same thing happened. 

	BTW. These machines are brand new with the factory installed Windows 95B. When 
installing PathWorks I chose a custom install and installed VT320 and LAT.

	After the second machine came up in safe mode I started looking in the registry and 
found under \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD the following Keys had 
been added DECCORE, DECIOCB, DECLAT, DECNDIS, DECLMAP, and DECSHOW I deleted all of these 
keys, rebooted and the machine came up okay. After a few more reboots I found that by removing 
DECCORE and DECIOCB the machine would boot okay, except LAT wasn't available.

	These 2 keys DECCORE and DECIOCB load deccore.vxd and deciocb.vxd. I think there is a 
conflict with these VXD's and the Phoenix Card Manager. I have installed PW95a / PW32 on 
desktops running Win95B and on old HiNotes and Ultra's with no problems.

	I've looked through PW32 release notes, throught the PathWorks and DECPC_Portable 
confrences, and on the web Comet, AltaVista etc but can't find any info. Has anyone seen this 
or know of updated drivers to fix the problem.

	I copied the PW32 kit from JAMIN::PW32:

	With regard to 2371.0 if you are running Windows 95 have a look in the registry under 
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VXD and see if DECCORE and DECIOCB are 
present. If so try removing them (it's a good idea to export VXD tree first). Your machine 
should start okay but I don't know if it will find a licence. Hope this helps.
