The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When you run the NET START command, you receive one of the following error
messages:
Error 3: The specified path was not found. An error occurred accessing the
security settings file.
-or-
Error 2625: WFWSYS.CFG is Invalid.
CAUSE
=====
These errors can be caused by one or both of the following situations:
- The DEVDIR= line in the [network drivers] section of the SYSTEM.INI file is
set to a directory different from the directory where the WFWSYS.CFG file is
located.
If DEVDIR= points to the directory where the WFWSYS.CFG is located and you
still receive one of these error messages, you may have a damaged WFWSYS.CFG
file, or your WFWSYS.CFG file was copied from another computer. In this case,
you must reinstall Windows for Workgroups 3.11 or contact your system
administrator.
- You are running a shared copy of Windows for Workgroups on a Novell NetWare
network and your Windows directory is set as a map root (for example,
U:\<UserName>\Windows).
RESOLUTION
==========
- To correct this problem, change the DEVDIR line so that it points to the
correct location of the WFWSYS.CFG file.
- Change the map root from the Windows directory to your user directory (for
example, U:\<UserName>).
