That's the 'Error Reading Background File' problem that is common with

=================================================================
I am running NetView 5.1.1. Worked great. After loading Cisco Works 2000
( Cisco View in particular ) I get an error message:
(Embedded image moved to file: pic29673.pcx)
This pops up about 30 times and when the map comes up there are no
symbols on it. The event windows shows all the incoming events and
appears to work normally. I tried adding an object but no symbols
appear in that window as well.
Has Cisco works installation altered some of my environment path variables?
Any help or starting point would be great.
Thanks
