SYMPTOMS

When you log on to a NetWare 3.x server from a Windows 95 client, and the NetWare login script has been configured to run Smsls.scr, a fatal exception error occurs during the "Installing Systems Management Server on this client . . " phase.

CAUSE

McAfee's VirusScan for Windows 95 is installed and VShield is configured to load at startup. Vshield causes the fatal exception error on Windows 95.

RESOLUTION

From the McAfee VirusScan95 group, run the VShield Configuration Manager. In the General section of the Detection tab, disable the "Load VShield at startup" option. You can create a shortcut to Vshwin32.exe and place it in StartUp, so that VShield continues to load automatically.
