Error: NIOS-020-66: Pseudo module PRINT did not free one or more resources before being destroyed.

The error occurs before the NetWare GUI login screen appears.

Error: NIOS-020-66: Pseudo module PRINT did not free one or more resources before being destroyed.
Error: NIOS-201-66: Pseudo module PRINT did not free one or more resources before being destroyed.

This can be caused by a module which has been loaded incorrectly due to either: 1. corruption in the loader, 2. a bug in the loader, 3. corruption in the module being loaded, or 4. a bug in NIOS.VXD.

Reinstall Windows 95. In some cases, reinstalling an OEM version of Windows 95 will cause the problem to persist. A retails version of Windows 95 may need to be installed.

Make sure NIOS.VXD exists in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. If it does not, re-copy it from the Windows 95 CD.

Copy the latest NIOS.VXD to the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.

Add memory to the workstation. In multiple instances, increasing memory from 16 MB to either 32 or 48 MB resolved this issue. However, it has been reported that adding too much memory can also cause the problem. In one instance increasing memory to 1 GB had the same affect. Using 512 MB did not cause any problem.

Update printer drivers.

Remove the EMM386 line in the CONFIG.SYS file.

Corruption of some sort causing the NIOS.VXD to run an incorrect routine. NIOS.VXD is broken up into sub-modules called"Pseudo Modules." During the time a module is being unloaded, any resources that module has allocated should be released, or deallocated. Therefore, these error messages should only occur when a module is being unloaded. These error messages usually appear before the NetWare GUI login screen appears. However, at this point in the load order, NIOS.VXD should not be trying to unload anything yet.
