Hello: Suggestions for this problem have already been offered on the net, but none of them work for us. The suggestion to use the Microsoft in Graphics mode is a little bit confusing, can someone please elaborate on it??? Windows applications all run in Graphics mode, it is only for the non-windows applications that you have the choice of the mode, i.e., text or the graphics mode. Please correct me if I have misunderstood some concepts. Actually this is what we have found out: For us, the Messages are received when the windows run in STANDARD MODE. But the moment we switch to ENHANCED MODE, it starts eating up the SEND Messages. I think this is what is happening, again, someone please correct me if I am wrong: When the "Send Message" is received by the network workstation, it has to be displayed on the screen, which would be done by generating some Interrupt signals. In Enhanced mode, it might so happen that these and the other DOS interrupt signals are being consumed by the Windows, to enable it to run faster, and hence the broadcasted message will not appear on the screen. If you know exactly what interrupt signals are being generated, may be there is a way to tell windows not to consume that interrupt signal. i know there is one such option to tell windows not to eat-up the DOS Interrupt 2A. But we cannot make windows receive messages in enhanced mode yet...... Windows and Novell Guru's please comment on this theory .....

If you ftp to cica.cica.indiana.edu in directory pub/pc/win3/sdl there are a number of windows update files. In particular sdldisk3.zip which contains netware updates. After installing these, my 386 finally passed messages via nwpopup.
