Novell NetWare broadcast messages not received due to NWPOPUP used.
Cause:
The 'NWPOPUP' program is being used instead of the 'WinPopup' tool. 'Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks' does not recognize the 'NWPOPUP' program.
Solution:
Upgrade to Novell's NetWare Client 32 for Windows 95, which recognizes NWPOPUP and displays NetWare messages. As a workaround, install 'WinPopup' via Windows Setup in 'Add/Remove Programs'. Open WinPopup from the 'Startup' folder and check 'Always on top' in 'Options'.
1) Install WinPopup if it was not originally installed with Windows 95:
a) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu.
b) Select 'Settings' and select 'Control Panel'.

c) Double-click the 'Add/Remove Programs' icon. (The 'Add/Remove Programs Properties' dialog box appears.)

h) Click 'OK'. (The 'Add/Remove Programs Properties' dialog box reappears.)
i) Click 'OK'.
j) Insert the correct Windows 95 installation diskette or CD-ROM when prompted.
NOTE: WinPopup will be installed into the Startup folder.
2) Configure WinPopup to appear on the Taskbar:
a) Click the 'Start' button to display the 'Start' menu.
