Intel SatisFAXtion File CASMGR.EXE May Cause Windows to Hang (87354)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q87354

SYMPTOMS

Intel Technical Support has confirmed that the Intel SatisFAXtion driver, CASMGR.EXE, may cause Windows 3.1 to hang when entering 386 enhanced mode if CASMGR is configured to use expanded memory.

CAUSE

The SatisFAXtion Setup program sets up CASMGR.EXE to start from the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. CASMGR uses expanded memory if it's available, and this may conflict with the page frame that Windows 386 enhanced mode establishes.

WORKAROUND

To disable CASMGR's use of expanded memory:
  1. From the FAX subdirectory, type setup.
  2. Choose the Advanced option.
  3. Choose Technical Options.
  4. In the CASMGR Usage section, choose the option to not use expanded memory.
Disabling this option should allow SatisFAXtion to work in Windows 386 enhanced mode.
