Q79052

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

-

SUMMARY
The NETWORKS.TXT document file included with Windows 3.0 refers to the NetAsyncSwitching statement. This statement is supposed to go under the [Standard] section in the SYSTEM.INI file; however, there is no explanation for this command in the SYSINI.TXT file.

This information applies to Microsoft Windows versions 3.0 and 3.0a. This does not apply to later versions of Windows.

MORE INFORMATION
The following explains NetAsyncSwitching.

NetAsynchSwitching= Default: 0 Purpose: Indicates whether Windows will allow you to switch away from an        application (running in standard mode) after it has made an         asynchronous network BIOS call. The default value of 0 specifies that task switching is not allowed. Switching away from some applications that make these calls might cause your system to fail. Once Windows detects an asynchronous NetBIOS call, it will not allow switching from the application even if no more of these calls are made. Set this value to 1 if        you are sure the applications you use will not receive network messages while they are not active.

To change: Use Notepad to edit the SYSTEM.INI file. Additional query words: 3.00 3.00a 3.0 3.0a novell networks win30 docerr
