2652.0. "No such device.." by UTRTSC::CAHILL () Wed Apr 25 1990 07:04

I have a customer with the following problem when booting
DECwindows.

During DECW$STARTAPPS.COM when the startup tries to 

$set display/create/permanent/transport=local decw$startup_device

he gets the error "no such device".

The driver is loaded,the logical decw$startup_device has not been 
defined anywhere,the version is VMS 5.2 on a 3100 in an LAVC.


Can anyone tell me why he gets this error ?

Thanks..

GC.

2652.1Check WS device?STAR::ORGOVANVince OrgovanWed Apr 25 1990 19:362
    You said the driver was loaded. Did you mean the WSA0: device,
    or the graphics device? Set display is looking to clone WSA0.
2652.2DECW$STARTLIBS..where are you..UTRTSC::CAHILLThu Apr 26 1990 05:249
    Thanks for the pointer Vince,it appears the customer wasn't giving
    me all the info he should have been... the wsdriver was not loaded 
    because...
    
    DECW$STARTLIBS.COM had been mysteriously deleted from the system.
    
    Thanks..
