Q67705

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

-

The &quot;Microsoft Windows User's Guide&quot; for version 3.0 contains incorrect information in the &quot;Configuring an 8086 or 8088 Computer&quot; near the bottom of page 502. The statement reads:

If your system has an EGA monitor and you run non-Windows applications with Windows in real mode or standard mode, your CONFIG.SYS file should contain a command line like the following:

"device=c:\windows\ega.sys &quot;" An 8086 or 8088 computer cannot run Windows in standard mode. Standard mode requires a 80286, 80386, or 80486 microprocessor and extended memory.
