SYMPTOMS
If you run a PC Tools version 7.0 or 7.1 MS-DOS-based application in a window in Microsoft Windows version 3.1, the display may look garbled or the font may not display correctly. This can also happen in Windows in standard mode when you switch to a PC Tools application.



RESOLUTION
To work around the problem, start PC Tools applications by using the /NF, /NG, or /NGM options. If PC Tools applications are included in a Program Manager group, use the Properties command to add options to the command line.

You can also include the /NF option in the application's program information file (PIF) by typing it in the Optional Parameters text box in the PIF Editor. You can use the PC Tools PCCONFIG program to specify that PC Tools applications should use the Text Font to display information.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about changing application properties, see chapter 3, &quot;Program Manager,&quot; in the &quot;Microsoft Windows User's Guide&quot; for version 3.1.

For more information about changing an application's PIF, see chapter 8, &quot;PIF Editor,&quot; in the &quot;Microsoft Windows User's Guide.&quot;
