- TITLE :LocalTalk Adapter Configuration Fails with U.S. Service Pack 1
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - U.S. Service Pack 1 for Microsoft Windows NT and Windows NT
- Advanced Server version 3.1
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- After you update Windows NT with U.S. Service Pack 1 and attempt to
- add the driver for the DayStar Digital LocalTalk Adapter, or attempt
- to configure this adapter if it had already been installed prior to
- applying the patch, you will receive the following error message:
-
- An Internal Error Occurred - Contact Technical Support
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- During installation of the driver for the DayStar Digital LocalTalk
- Adapter, you must specify which I/O address the adapter is using.
- After you select the proper address and choose OK, the above error
- message will be generated if U.S. Service Pack 1 has been installed.
- If the driver was installed under the initial release of Windows NT,
- and then the U.S. Service Pack 1 patch was applied, when you attempt
- to change the adapter's configuration through the Network application
- of Control Panel, the error message will also be generated.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- The only resolution currently is to remove the modifications made by
- the U.S. Service Pack 1, and then the installation/configuration of
- the driver will be successful. You can do this by using the Emergency
- Repair Disk and doing the following:
-
- 1. Start your system using Disk 1 - Setup Disk for Floppy Disk
- Installation, or the CD-ROM Installation Disk 1 if Windows NT was
- installed from CD-ROM.
-
- 2. At the first blue screen, press R for Repair.
-
- 3. When prompted to do so, insert the Emergency Repair Disk that
- was originally created for this computer.
-
- 4. Reinsert Disk 1 when prompted. (This is the same disk with which
- you started your system.)
-
- 5. You will see three selections. All three will be selected by
- default. Use the ARROW KEYS to move the selector bar and use the
- SPACEBAR to highlight/select or clear the options.
-
- 6. Clear the selection of all options except "Verify Windows NT
- system files." This should be the only option that has an "X"
- in front of it. Move the selector bar to the line that says
- to Continue and press the ENTER key.
-
- STATUS
- ======
-
- Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows
- NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and
- will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
- becomes available.
