SYMPTOMS
Windows CE does not start if you use a boot loader that uses an AM33 interrupt.



CAUSE
Windows CE expects a value of zero at INT_CODE for the AM33 Trap Base Register (TBR) when Windows CE starts and constructs the interrupt vector table. If a boot loader uses interrupts before this point, INT_CODE is set to a non-zero interrupt number. This causes Windows CE not to work during the construction of the interrupt vector table.



RESOLUTION
A supported software update is now available from Microsoft as Windows CE 3.0 Core OS QFE Q321172. To resolve this problem immediately, click the following article number for information about obtaining Windows CE Platform Builder and core operating system software updates:
