    TITLE:  Arabic Win95 Login Problem & Netware

    ISSUE

       In Arabic Windows 95 Operation Service Release 1 (SR1), that has
       MS Client for Netware Networks installed, if the Login Script
       Processing feature is ENABLED, the following error message is
       encountered after the login name and password have been entered:

            Error starting program
            The NWLSPROC.EXE file is linked to missing export
            NWNET32.DLL:70

       After this point, the system becomes unstable. There is no
       problem at all if the Login Script Processing feature is
       DISABLED.

       This issue only affects systems installed with Arabic Windows 95.

    BACKGROUND

       This particular problem applies only to the Arabic Windows 95,
       and it is independent of network card (s) and system hardware.
       This problem is not found in the English version of Windows 95.

    ACTION

       To resolve this issue perform the following:

       1. Download the file named NWLSPROC.EXE from any of AST's
          On-Line! services as follows:

          AST WWW Site:  http://www.ast.com
          AST On-Line! BBS*:  See IB0001.TXT
          CompuServe:  GO: ASTFORUM
          Prodigy:   JUMP: ASTSUPPORT

          * Refer to IB0001.TXT for a list of AST's
            international BBS numbers.

          To decompress this file, create a temporary directory
          on your hard drive, copy the downloaded file to that
          directory, and run the file.

       2. Copy the file to the Arabic Windows 95 directory as
          follows:

                  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM

       3. Restart the system.

       This solution has been proven to work. However, it can only fix
       the problem occuring in an installed system. If Arabic Windows 95
       is reinstalled, the fix has to be applied again.
