-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

-

SUMMARY
If Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 is installed for a Novell network, and then MS-DOS-based maintenance mode Setup is run and No Network Installed is selected, then all the Novell components are removed except for the following line in the SYSTEM.INI file's [386enh] section:

  OVERLAPPEDIO=OFF Having this setting active when you are not running on a Novell network, may reduce system performance.

MORE INFORMATION
If enabled, this switch allows several virtual machines to make read and write requests to a disk before the first request has been completed. If it is disabled, then MS-DOS-based applications cannot issue a request to read or write to a disk until any previous read and write requests have been completed.
