Problem

Solutions: A customer had just upgraded to OS/2 LAN Server 1.2. Several of the users on the network were having problems with List Files. They were unable to change to directories that they had used for a long time. The customer discovered two device drivers, EIMPCS.SYS and ECYDDX.SYS, that had appeared after the upgrade. Once the drivers were "unloaded," the users did not have any problems with List Files. In speaking with IBM, the customer was told that the ECYDDX.SYS driver reserves drives D: through K:, if no parameters are specified. Therefore, the network was not allowed to use them. After adding the parameter ECYDDX.SYS DRIVE-1 (reserves drive D: only) the problems no longer occurred.
