SYMPTOMS
If you run Microsoft Diagnostics (MSD.EXE) with Windows 3.0 in 386 enhanced mode, you receive the following message:

Error: You have attempted to run a protected-mode application in 386 enhanced mode. To run the application, exit and run Windows using either the WIN /S or the WIN /R command.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, create an icon for MSD with the following command line:

c:\dos\msd.exe /i

The /I switch bypasses the initial hardware (memory) detection.
