6.2.1 Troubleshooting

Here is a potential problem and a suggested solution:

If a menuing system exists in the

CONFIG.SYS

file and multiple menu

selections are available that already include some of the SDMS drivers,
the system only updates the first menu selection found that already
contains our drivers rather than all of them. However, if SDMS drivers are
not present, it puts the new drivers in the common area and creates a
common menu item one, if it does not exist.

A workaround regarding menuing in the

CONFIG.SYS

file is to ensure the

install program puts the drivers where you want them. By default they are
put in the common area. However, if some of the SDMS drivers are
already present, the install program may incorrectly guess where the new
ones should be put.
