SUMMARY
=======

If Windows for Workgroups (WFWG) is upgraded over Windows with Novell NetWare
Lite installed as the network, Windows for Workgroups workstations may not be
able to view other Windows for Workgroups servers on the network.


For Windows for Workgroups to operate properly, all references and settings for
NetWare Lite should be removed from the Windows for Workgroups configuration
files, and from the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To remove NetWare Lite and the changes it may have made, do the following:

1. Remove the following lines from the [386Enh] section of the Windows for
  Workgroups SYSTEM.INI file:

        UniqueDOSPSP=True
        PSPIncrement=5
        OverlappedIO=Off
        TimerCriticalSection=10000
        ReflectDOSInt2A=True

2. Remove the following entry from the Network= line in the [386Enh] section of
  the SYSTEM.INI file:

        VIPX.386

3. Remove any changes that NetWare Lite made to the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
  files, including removing the NetWare Lite directory from the PATH line of
  the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
