    AST RESEARCH, INC.        TECHNICAL BULLETIN # 1649          01/14/97

    TITLE:  Novell Log-in Prompt on Win95 Startup

    ISSUE

       Netware Client32 Graphical User Interface (GUI) login prompt is
       not displayed during startup of Windows 95. Once Windows 95
       starts up, it is possible to login to the server using Start,
       Programs, Novell, Netware Login.

       This issue may affect all systems preloaded with Windows 95.

    BACKGROUND

       This issue occurs when the value for AutoLogon in the Registry is
       set to 00. If AutoLogon is not present, or if its value is set to
       01, then a login prompt will be displayed.

    ACTION

       To resolve the issue, perform the following steps:

       AST HIGHLY RECOMMENDS A BACKUP OF ALL DATA NOT ORIGINALLY ON THE
       COMPUTER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SOFTWARE UPDATE.

          1. Create a temporary directory on the system's hard
             drive.

          2. Download file AUTOLOG.REG from one of AST's
             On-Line! services to the created temporary
             directory.

          3. Update the Windows 95 Registry by opening Windows
             Explorer to the temporary directory and
             double-clicking on the file.

       The system will issue a prompt to the screen notifying the user
       that the registry has been updated.

       For information on resolving this issue, please refer to the
