CAUTION:

  Using the SYSEDIT utility can put

either the system or Windows into a state where
it cannot operate. If you are not familiar with the
use of these files and their maintenance, do not
make any changes.

If trouble is experienced in using the NEC DMI Browser, here are a few suggestions on
how to clear up the problem.

Reboot the system after installation, otherwise you may have problems running the NEC
DMI Browser.

If the product name, serial number, system boot time, or other attribute returns a N/A,
check the following:

n

 

Look at the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to see if the line
DMIDIR%\WIN16\BIN\NECDMI.EXE is present.

n

 

Make sure the file NECDMI.DAT is located in the DMIDIR%\WIN16\BIN
subdirectory.

n

 

Check that NECCI.EXE is running.
