= SYMPTOMS =

If you are running Works for MS-DOS with Microsoft Windows version 3.0 and you cannot switch from Works to another application by pressing CTRL+ESC or by using the mouse, you may not be running the computer in enhanced mode.

If the computer is an 80386 machine and has at least 1 megabyte (MB) of memory (for example, 640K + 384K extended), try the following:


 * 1) Check the CONFIG.SYS file for a “DEVICE=C:.SYS” statement. Add the HIMEM.SYS driver if necessary and restart your machine.
 * 2) Restart Windows from the MS-DOS prompt by typing the command “WIN /3” (without the quotation marks). Restarting Windows this way enables Windows to run in enhanced mode.
