To recontinue an old question....
I have just finished installing Optivity NMS 8.1 on NetView 4.1 and have the
same problem, an error message stating "Error during reading background
file." I have no zero length files and I did as Steve suggested, removed
all the files in /usr/OV/bitmaps/C that did not have file extensions.
However, once I accessed NetView, all of these files recreated themselves.
Again, does anyone have any other solutions to this error?
Thanks!

I didn't have any zero length files either. I forget who suggested it
here, but I deleted all the files in /usr/OV/bitmaps/C without file
extentions on them (delete "c3000", not "c3000.20.m"), and ran
"/usr/OV/bin/ovw -config".
Solved my problem.

Thanks for the quick reply Scott, however I do not have any zero length
files.
I did place a call to the reseller for our Optivity Maintenace contract and
will
pursue this with BayNetworks if no one has a quick and easy solution.

Look for any zero length files, and move or delete them.

files in /usr/OV/bitmaps/C are the problem files? The number of files is
overwhelming to deal with one at a time. I do not have CiscoWorks installed
at
this time.
