| 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.
Regards,
Ken Jeffreys
