After installing PW32 on Windows 95 application-icons on PATHWORKS server share disappears. The scenario is as follows: Client: Windows 95 with Netbeui as the only protocol. Server: PATHWORKS 5.0E & 5.0E ECO1 The client is configured to log on to the LM domain on the PW server. No problems yet! When making an UNC command from the Start->Run (Eg. \\SERVER\PCCOMMON) the application icons displays ok. (WINWORD.EXE etc.) Install the PW32 kit with LAT,VT320 and the LM license agent. Problem: The applicatuion icons on the share on the PW server disappears. It only shows the standard application icon. Any Clues ! Claus Nielsen - DMO [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

Yep. I think what you're seeing is a byproduct of the issue involving
cpu "consumption" by one of the PW32 components (I think it's the
license transponder).
From what I understand, the displaying of the actual app icon is
determined based on some performance metric the client (Win95)
calculates. Exceed that metric and it doesn't try to read the icon
info stored in the image (this may not be exactly correct, but it's
close)...
Try (1) looking in the conference for issues around 100% cpu activity
and then try removing that component (only). Then see if the old
behavior returns (please post the results here)...

Paul! I don't quite follow .. Search where? and what components should be removed if I did search for it and in deed found it. But I haven't found it yet .... Claus ! [Posted by WWW Notes gateway] | |||||
| 259.4 | 3rd try's a charm? | VMSNET::P_NUNEZ | Tue Apr 29 1997 18:05 | 35 | |
Sorry Claus,
Let me try again (my other reply isn't 2 good ;o).

First the problem: Win95 used to display the correct icon because
Win95 took the time to read the icon info in the image. Now Win95
isn't doing that. FWIU (From What I Understand ;o), Win95doesn't take
the time to read the image because it believes performance is already
bad enough.
So that leads me to my "What could cause the performance hit?" Which
is why I mentioned:
>Try (1) looking in the conference for issues around 100% cpu activity

>behavior returns (please post the results here)...
But it should say try looking in "this" conference (PATHWORKS32) for
the issue regarding one of the PW32 components consuming (idle) cpu
time. Perhaps, because Win95 thinks the CPU is 100% busy, Win95 isn't
reading the image file to get the icon info.
And, if my theory is correct, the previous (good?) behavior should
return by removing (for testing only ;o) the quilty PW32 component.
Better?

| 259.5 | License Requester.. | NNTPD::"[email protected]" | Claus Nielsen | Thu May 01 1997 06:21 | 73 |
License requester. I tried the following setup: The test for showing the icons was done by a start->run->\\server\pccommon in Windows 95. When running with license requester the client requested a PWLMDOSCC06.00 and nothing else. When running without license requester PWLMVMSCU05.00 was used. Then PATHWORKS Client components used is the PW32 kit. * Win95 * NetBeui ======== Icons OK ======== * Copied a new set of programs containing icons. * Reconnected the UNC path ======================== Icons OK ======================== * Win95 * NetBeui * VT320 * LAT * LM License requester * Reconnected the UNC path =================================== Icons OK (Propably cached by Win95) =================================== * Copied a new set of programs containing icons. * Reconnected the UNC path =========================================================== New Icons missing (Even saw some of the old ones disappear) =========================================================== * Restartet the PW-Server * Reconnected the UNC path =========================================================== Icons missing =========================================================== * Removed the license requester * Reconnected the UNC path =========================================================== Icons missing =========================================================== * Restartet the PW-Server * Reconnected the UNC path ============================================================= Icons OK (There must be some server cache involved here. License cache?) ============================================================= * Reinstalled Win95 * VT320 * LAT ============================================================== Icons OK ============================================================== * Copied a new set of programs containing icons. * Reconnected the UNC path ===============================================================Icons OK =============================================================== It seems like that the license requester/transponder is the problem?
