DOCUMENT:Q92790 15-NOV-1999 [win3x] TITLE :WFWG Err Msg: Add SystemROMBreakpoint=FALSE to SYSTEM.INI PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows 3.x Retail Product PROD/VER:WINDOWS:3.1,3.11 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11 - Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== If you install Windows or Windows for Workgroups when the third-party memory manager is not loaded, and then later you activate the memory manager, you may receive an error message stating that the "SystemROMBreakpoint=FALSE" line must be added to your SYSTEM.INI file. You may also receive this error message if you do not indicate where the WINDOWS directory is located when you install a third-party memory manager. WORKAROUND ========== To work around either of the above situations, add the "SystemROMBreakpoint=FALSE" line to the [386enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file. MORE INFORMATION ================ The "SystemROMBreakpoint=FALSE" line should be installed in the SYSTEM.INI file by the Setup program for Windows for Workgroups or Windows when some third-party memory managers (such as QEMM, 386MAX, and BlueMAX) are installed.
