We had the same problem after installing Cisco Works Resource manager. Here is a
post from Karin Binder from June that helped us out. We also had problems with
the 1600 device files. On the bright side, once we got the bad files out the
maps came back okay.

HTH, let me know if you have any questions.

Do you mean:

ovw -config
ovw -fields
ovw -verify

If not, try those. If you still get the same error, look for 0 byte file in
/usr/OV/bitmaps/C. That has always
resolved the problem for me.

Hello,

     When I arrived at work this morning, my Netview box was frozen (hung,
lock,
crashed.....).  After rebooting and starting Netview back,  I started
receiving
messages, "error during reading background file.  Press OK".    After all
the
windows open, (toolbar, navigation, main window, control panel,),  my map is
blank.     If I open a new map,  it also stays blank.   No Symbols. I have
already run - netview -config, netview -verify, and netview -fields.   No
change.  Any Ideas?

Thanks.

Steve
