This article was previously published under Q75898 SUMMARY
If Microsoft Windows is started from a menuing system such as Point and
Shoot version 3.0, you may receive multiple Unrecoverable Application
Errors (UAEs) or general protection (GP) faults within Windows.
Menu systems such as Point and Shoot are executable files that create
a batch file and then remove themselves from memory. This creates a
shell around the Windows environment that may cause problems within
Windows.
Microsoft does not recommend or support starting Windows from any type
of shell program. Microsoft recommends and supports starting Windows
at the command prompt or from within the AUTOEXEC.BAT file only.
