SYMPTOMS

After you uninstall the Banyan VINES 16-bit network client software from your Windows 98-based computer, you may notice that some of your programs run slowly.

CAUSE

This issue can occur if the Setver.exe program is running automatically when you start your computer. When you install the Banyan VINES 16-bit network client software, a Setver.exe entry is added to the Config.sys file, but this entry is not removed when you uninstall the network software.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, disable the Setver.exe entry in the Config.sys file. To do so, use the following steps:

Click Start, click Run, type sysedit in the Open box, and then click OK.
On the Window menu, click Config.sys.
Locate the line that loads Setver.exe. Type REM, followed by a space at the beginning of the line. For example, the line in your Config.sys file may be similar to the following line:
```
      Device=C:\Windows\Command\Setver.exe
  
						
```
On the File menu, click Exit.
Click Yes when you are prompted to save the Config.sys file.
Restart the computer.
