APPLIES TO


This article was previously published under Q151912

SYMPTOMS

If a file on a Novell NetWare network server is opened by a Windows 95 client running the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks (NWRedir), and the size of the file subsequently changes, the new file size may not be reported by Windows 95.

CAUSE

If a file is being cached, the GetFileSize API returns cached file size information, instead of reading the actual file size from the server.

RESOLUTION

STATUS

This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit
