- MICROSOFT WINDOWS VERSION 3.11 FILES
- ====================================
-
- This Application Note includes updated versions of eight core Windows
- 3.10 files. To update these files to version 3.11, follow the
- procedure below that is appropriate to your configuration.
-
- To update a local installation of Windows 3.10 to Windows 3.11
- --------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Quit Microsoft Windows.
-
- 2. Create a backup directory. For example, to create a backup
- directory off the root of drive C, type MD C:\BACKUP at the MS-DOS
- command prompt and then press ENTER.
-
- 3. Copy the files listed below from your Windows SYSTEM subdirectory
- to the backup directory or a floppy disk.
-
- COMMDLG.DLL
- GDI.EXE
- KRNL386.EXE
- PSCRIPT.DRV
- UNIDRV.DLL
- SHELL.DLL
- USER.EXE
-
- To do this, use the following syntax
-
- copy <drive>:\<windir>\system\<filename> <drive>:\<backdir>
-
- where <drive> is your hard disk drive, <windir> is your Windows
- directory, <filename> is the file you are copying, and <backdir> is
- your backup directory.
-
- For example, if your hard disk drive is C, your Windows directory
- is named WINDOWS, and you are copying COMMDLG.DLL, type the
- following:
-
- copy c:\windows\system\commdlg.dll c:\backup
-
- Repeat this command for the remaining files.
-
- 4. Insert the enclosed WW0981 disk in the appropriate floppy disk
- drive. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and then
- press ENTER
-
- copy <drive>:\*.* <destination>
-
- where <drive> is your floppy disk drive and <destination> is your
- Windows SYSTEM subdirectory.
-
- For example:
-
- copy a:\*.* c:\windows\system
-
- 5. If you use Novell NetWare connectivity, do the following:
-
- a. Use a text editor (such as Windows Notepad) to open your
- SYSTEM.INI file, which is located in your Windows directory.
-
- b. In the [386Enh] section, change DEVICE=*VTD to DEVICE=VTDA.386.
-
- c. Save the file and quit the text editor.
-
- To update a network installation of Windows 3.10 to Windows 3.11
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Determine the location of your SYSTEM.INI file and the network
- share that contains your shared Windows files. For example, if the
- network drive containing your Windows program files is Q, the
- location of your shared Windows files may be Q:\WINSHARE and your
- user directory may be Q:\USER\<YOURNAME> (or your user directory
- may be located on your local hard disk drive).
-
- 2. Quit Microsoft Windows.
-
- 3. Create a backup directory. For example, to create a backup
- directory off the root of drive C, type MD C:\BACKUP at the MS-DOS
- command prompt and then press ENTER.
-
- 4. Copy the following files from the network share to the backup
- directory on your hard disk drive using the following syntax at the
- MS-DOS command prompt and then press ENTER
-
- copy <netdrive>:\<netshare>\<filename> <harddrive>:\<backdir>
-
- where <netdrive> is the network drive,<netshare> is the network
- share containing your SYSTEM.INI file, <filename> is the file you
- are copying, <harddrive> is your hard disk drive, and <backdir> is
- your backup directory.
-
- For example, if your network drive is Q, the network share is
- WINSHARE, the file you want to copy is COMMDLG.DLL, your hard disk
- drive is C, and your backup directory is called BACKUP, type the
- following:
-
- copy q:\winshare\commdlg.dll c:\backup
-
- Repeat this command for the remaining files:
-
- COMMDLG.DLL
- GDI.EXE
- KRNL386.EXE
- PSCRIPT.DRV

-
