SYMPTOM:

Windows 3.1 may exhibit one or more of the following problems:

-o-  On a Server-Client that is running Windows and attempts to
print, print jobs will not start printing until Windows is exited.

-o-  On a Server-Client that is running Windows, other stations will
appear to lockup (hang) until Windows is exited on the Server-Client
that is running Windows.

CAUSE:

The symptoms seem to be caused due to a configuration issue.  Novell
currently does not know the exact cause of the problem; although, it
appears that some non-Microsoft Windows (and possibly non-Windows)
applications may be doing something that Microsoft applications do
not do, causing SERVER.EXE to not get any CPU cycles thus displaying
the above symptoms.

SOLUTION:

1.   Make sure that the Exclusive in Foreground box is not selected
in the 386 enhanced ICON in the control panel.

2.   Remove any references to programs in the LOAD/RUN line in the
WIN.INI file.

3.   Remove any programs that are in the StartUp group that run when
Windows is started.

NOTE:     The above information may or may not work in each case.

Novell currently has a field test patch for this issue.  Please call
Technical Support and register a call to determine if the patch
applies to your situation.  If so, a copy of the patch will be made
available to you. 

This field test patch will be generally available when the patch has
passed field testing.
