Network Pop-Up Message Hangs Standard, Real Mode Windows 3.0 (71428)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Windows 3.0a
This article was previously published under Q71428 SYMPTOMS
If you run Microsoft Windows 3.0 on a Microsoft LAN Manager 2.0 Enhanced
(or 100-percent compatible) network, it is possible to receive pop-up
messages in the WinPopup display panel. However, if you run Windows in real
or standard mode and close WinPopup, Windows stops responding (hangs) and
the screen becomes corrupted if a network pop-up message is received.
NOTE: This does not occur if you run Windows in 386 enhanced mode.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because NetPopup (the network message handler)
attempted to display the message without being able to queue the message
through WinPopup (the Windows message handler).
WORKAROUND
Reboot the computer and restart Windows, but do not close WinPopup if you
are running in real or standard mode.
MORE INFORMATION
If you attempt to create a permanent swapfile by running Windows in real
mode and closing WinPopup, your system will hang if a pop-up message is
received by the workstation. To avoid problems during the rare times you
are creating or modifying a permanent swapfile, do not start the network.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows version
3.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as
it becomes available.
