Using Windows 95 with the DE-620 Adapter

To work around this problem, do one of the following:

Workaround 1

If you do not need the LPT port for local printing, you can disable the check for device contention by removing the following line in the SYSTEM.INI file:

DEVICE=VPD.386

Disabling VPD.386 doesn't affect the ability of Windows for Workgroups to print over the network. However, if you are printing locally, no warning appears and printouts may have garbled characters, or you may experience network communication problems.

Workaround 2

In Control Panel, choose the 386 Enhanced Mode icon. Set the Idle Time for the port in question to zero (0). This turns off VPD trapping for that port.
