Err Msg: An Error Occurred Accessing the Security Settings... (108428)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q108428 SYMPTOMS
When you run the NET START command, you receive one of the following error
messages:
Error 3: The specified path was not found.
An error occurred accessing the security settings file.
Error 2625: WFWSYS.CFG is Invalid.
CAUSE
These errors can be caused by one or both of the following situations:
- The DEVDIR= line in the [network drivers] section of the SYSTEM.INI
file is set to a directory different from the directory where the
WFWSYS.CFG file is located.
If DEVDIR= points to the directory where the WFWSYS.CFG is located and
you still receive one of these error messages, you may have a damaged
WFWSYS.CFG file, or your WFWSYS.CFG file was copied from another
computer. In this case, you must reinstall Windows for Workgroups 3.11
or contact your system administrator.
- You are running a shared copy of Windows for Workgroups on a Novell
NetWare network and your Windows directory is set as a map root (for
example, U:\<UserName>\Windows).
RESOLUTION- To correct this problem, change the DEVDIR line so that it points to the
correct location of the WFWSYS.CFG file.
- Change the map root from the Windows directory to your user directory
(for example, U:\<UserName>).
