Banyan Message Causes MS-DOS-Based Application to Minimize (85868)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q85868 SUMMARY
Banyan Vines network messages may cause a running MS-DOS-based application
to minimize in Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1. It does not
matter if the MS-DOS-based application is running in a full screen or in a
window. This problem does not occur in Banyan versions earlier than 4.1
patch 5.
WORKAROUND
Set the MS-DOS-based application's PIF to Execution: Exclusive, so
that no other application, including the network message, affects the
running application.
Disable network messaging from the Network option in Control Panel.
This prevents you from receiving messages.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Banyan Vines versions
4.1 patch 5 and later. We are researching this problem and will post
new information here as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
When a Banyan network message is sent to the workstation from a user's
mail program or network print queue, the message appears on the last
line of the screen and minimizes the running MS-DOS-based application.
