SYMPTOMS
File Manager shows the wrong file size for files that are greater than 4 GB in size. The file size shown is the difference between the file's actual size and 4 GB. For example, if the actual file size is 4,819,255,296 bytes, File Manager shows the size as 524,288,000:

    4,819,255,296 (file size) - 4,294,967,296 (4 GB) ---      524,288,000

The DIR command displays file sizes correctly.



CAUSE
File Manager ignores the high DWORD for computing the file size.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
