3.00 WINDOWS buglist3.00 fixlist3.10

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: WIN9103013

SYMPTOMS When an application is in the process of loading, it experiences an unrecoverable application error (UAE).

CAUSE The size of the preload area, as reported by the Microsoft Windows Resource Compiler, is an exact multiple of 64K (10000h).

RESOLUTION Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows version 3.0. To avoid this problem, change the size of the preload area by modifying the application’s module definition (DEF) file or resource (RC) file to change the number of segments that are marked PRELOAD.

This problem was corrected in Windows version 3.1.
