SYMPTOMS

You may receive the error message "Too many files open, or invalid SHARE parameters. <PATH of file being saved>" after installing the Works 3.0b for Windows Update.

RESOLUTION

Restarting Windows solves this problem.

MORE INFORMATION

Neither the UPDATE.EXE program nor the UPDATE.WPS file mentions restarting Windows after the update is complete. The 3.0b Update installs VSHARE.386 and makes an entry in the SYSTEM.INI file to replace SHARE.EXE in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. VSHARE.386 will be activated only after you restart Windows.

NOTE: This does not affect Windows for Workgroups 3.11 because VSHARE.386 is included with this version of Windows and should have been loaded already. This does not affect Windows 95 because Windows 95 uses a virtual device driver called *vshare.
