RESOLUTION

To work around these error messages, disable the following three lines in the [386Enh] section of the System.ini file in the Windows folder:

   Device=<path>Vntstimd.exe
   Device=<path>Vntspsd.386
   Device=<path>Vtcprac.386

To disable a line in the System.ini file, place a semicolon (;) at the beginning of the line.

NOTE: This also applies for the files "vntstimd.exe" and "dial.386" which are contained in the same section [386Enh].
