-
- 1.0 Introduction
- -----------------
- This release of Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 U.S. Service Pack 2 contains all
- the components that have been fixed since the retail release of Windows NT
- 3.1 and Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1. The Service Pack is easy to apply
- from within Windows NT and changes only those files that were originally
- set up on the Windows NT or Windows NT Advanced Server system. Service
- Pack releases are cumulative: they contain all previous fixes, as well as
- any new fixes made to the system.
-
-
-
- 2.0 Installation Instructions for the Windows NT U.S. Service Pack
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Installing the Service Pack from a floppy disk:
- 1. Insert Service Pack Disk 1 into the floppy drive.
- 2. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, change to that floppy drive (that is,
- A: or B:) and type UPDATE.
- 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen.
-
- Installing the Service Pack from a CD-ROM:
- 1. Insert the Service Pack CD-ROM disk into the CD-ROM drive.
- 2. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, change to that CD-ROM drive, then
- change to the i386, MIPS, or ALPHA directory (depending upon whether
- you have an Intel, MIPS, or ALPHA AXP CPU), and type UPDATE.
- 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen.
-
- Installing the Service Pack from a network drive:
- 1. At the Windows NT Command Prompt, type the command to connect to the
- network drive on which the Service Pack files reside.
- 2. Change to that network drive and type UPDATE.
- 3. Follow the instructions given on the screen.

- 2.1 User Notes
- ---------------
-
- *** Installing the Service Pack on a System with an OEM supplied HAL.DLL
-
- If your Windows NT system uses a HAL.DLL supplied by an OEM (one that was not
- installed from the Microsoft Windows NT 3.1 disk set) you need to follow the
- steps below to reinstall the OEM HAL after the Service Pack Update program has
- been run, but before the machine is rebooted. If you do not reinstall the OEM
- HAL properly, your system may not boot after installing the Service Pack
- (because the OEM HAL will have been replaced by a HAL from the Service Pack).
- If this happens, use your Emergency Repair disk to repair your system, then
- follow the steps below.
-
- 1) Before the Update program is run, copy the HAL.DLL file to HAL.OEM to
- save it. On an x86 machine, HAL.DLL is located in the %windir%\system32
- directory. On a MIPS or Alpha machine, the following command should
- locate it:
-
- DIR /S %windir%\..\hal.dll
-
- 2) After the Update program has been run, but before you have it reboot
- your system, start a Command Prompt window, and restore the HAL.DLL you
- saved in step (1). On an x86 machine,
-
- CD %windir%\system32
- COPY HAL.OEM HAL.DLL
-
- 3) Now switch back to the Update program and have it reboot your system.
-
-
- *** Configuring the NWLink Transport
-
- When configuring the NWLink transport using the Network option in Control
- Panel, you must enter the Network Number as a hexadecimal value rather
- than as a decimal value as stated in the Help file.
-
-
- *** Converting Macintosh Filenames to Win32 Filenames
-
- In general, the Windows NT (Win32) interface can view and use
- filenames created by a Macintosh client. There are two
- exceptions, where the filename is an illegal Win32 filename:
-
- The Macintosh client creates a filename that ends with a period.
-
- The Macintosh client creates a filename that ends with a blank
- space.
-
- In both of these cases, the Windows NT interface displays the filename
- with a thick vertical bar (|) or question mark (?) character replacing
- the final period or space. Only the last character is replaced.
- For example:
-
- Macintosh filename Windows NT displays the filename as . . .
- ------------------ -----------------------------------------
- An important file. An important file|
- Very important file ... Very important file ..|
- One space at the end One space at the end|
- Two spaces at the end Two spaces at the end |
-
- You can view and use the converted filenames in the Windows NT interface.
- You cannot view and use them from the Command Prompt (CMD.EXE). A Win16
- application that converts long filenames to the 8.3 format can convert
- these filenames to the 8.3 format.
-
- For Macintosh filenames that already exist on the Services for Macintosh
- server, before this updated functionality, the server will rename such
- files the first time they are accessed.
-
- The final character is mapped to an unused UNICODE character (0xF000+xx).
- Windows NT does this same mapping for characters that are illegal in the
- NTFS file system.
-
-
- *** Updating Printer Drivers Installed for Different CPU Architectures
-
- The Service Pack only updates printer drivers for the CPU architecture
- of the machine you install it on. For example: If you update an Intel CPU
- print server that you have MIPS computers printing to, the server also needs
- to have the MIPS version of the printer driver installed. In this case, the
- Service Pack only updates the Intel printer driver on the print server. You
- need to install the appropriate updated printer driver(s) for other
- architectures (MIPS, Alpha) by hand.
-
- The following procedure describes how to install the Postscript printer
- driver by hand.
-
- 1. Rename PSCRIPT.DLL and PSCRPTUI.DLL in the directory below to
- PSCRIPT.OLD and PSCRPTUI.OLD
-
- system32\spool\drivers\<platform>
-
- where <platform> is w32mips, w32alpha, or w32x86.
-
- 2. For MIPS or ALPHA drivers, copy the PSCRIPT.DLL and PSCRPTUI.DLL files
- from the MIPS or ALPHA subdirectories on the CD-ROM to the subdirectory
- in Step 1 above. For Intel-based drivers, type
-
- expand -r PSCRIPT.DL_ <subdirectory from step 1>
- expand -r PSCRPTUI.DL_ <subdirectory from step 1>
-
- from the i386 subdirectory on the CD-ROM where <subdirectory> is the
- subdirectory from Step 1.
-
-
- *** Emergency Repair Disk
-
- If it is necessary to use the Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk to repair
- your Windows NT system at some time after you apply the Service Pack, you
- will need to re-apply the Service Pack after the repair is completed. This
- is because the Emergency Repair Disk repairs your system by restoring your
- original Windows NT setup. After the repair has completed, simply follow
- the above Installation Instructions to re-apply the Service Pack.
-
-
- *** Adding New Components to the System
-
- If new software or hardware components are changed or added to your system
- after you have applied the Service Pack, it will be necessary to re-apply
- the Service Pack. This is because the files taken from the original Windows
- NT disk set may not be equivalent to the files on the Service Pack disk set.
- It is not possible to install new components directly from the Service Pack
- disk set (such as a new keyboard or printer driver). New components must be
- installed from the original Windows NT disk set.
-
-
- *** Command Reference Colors
-
- Some commands in the Command Reference (NTCMDS.HLP) list of commands are not
- visible if your system colors are set to Window Text = white and Window
- Background = black. Change your Windows Background to a lighter color to see
- all the commands in the list.
-
-
- *** Previous Versions of NTBackup
-
- Backup tapes created with the version of NTBackup shipping with this Service
- Pack cannot be restored or read with versions of NTBackup shipped prior to
- Service Pack 2. However, tapes created with previous versions of NTBackup can
- be read and restored by the version of NTBackup in this Service Pack. NTBackup
- now uses Unicode whenever it writes to tape, which was not understood by
- previous versions of NTBackup.
-
-
- *** Previous Versions of Services For Macintosh
-
- To correct a problem with file names ending in a space or period, a change was
- made to the Services For Macintosh software which makes earlier versions of
- this software unable to correctly read Macintosh file names on the Windows NT
- Advanced Server system. The new Services For Macintosh software will alter the
- NTFS file name to allow Macintosh clients to properly view them. This means
- that once you update your Services For Macintosh system files with this Service
- Pack, versions of the SFM software prior to Service Pack 2 will not function
- properly if installed on the system.
-
-
- *** Installing Symbol Files from the CD-ROM
-
- To install the symbol files corresponding to the new binaries in Service
- Pack 2, do the following (assuming your CD-ROM drive is D:, your symbol files
- are located in the C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS directory, and you are installing the
- files for an x86 machine):
-
- XCOPY /S /U /D D:\SUPPORT\DEBUG\I386\SYMBOLS C:\WINNT\SYMBOLS
-
- This will copy the Service Pack 2 .DBG files over the existing versions of
- these files. The XCOPY command shown will copy only those .DBG files that are
- already installed (/U switch), and only those with a more recent time-date
- stamp (/D switch).

- ----------------------------------------------------------
-
- Article ID: Q106742
-
- You cannot get the video to work correctly under Windows NT on a
- Toshiba 4400sx monochrome computer with an external monitor. This is
- caused by the Western Digital (WD) video driver. The WD driver
- expects the WD chip set on the 4400sx to be standard when, in fact, it
- is a slightly modified version designed specially for the Toshiba
- monochrome computer. The WD driver does not use the proper unlocking
- code and is not able to write anything to the video adapter.
