SYMPTOMS

When you install IntelliType software under Windows NT version 3.1 or 3.5, the following error appears:

   Your Program Manager contains too many Program Groups for
   Setup to continue. You will need to remove some Program
   Groups to run setup.

CAUSE

This problem occurs when installed Windows NT by upgrading your Windows version 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 installation, and 40 program groups are defined in the PROGMAN.INI file. Program Manager is limited to groups in Windows and Windows for Workgroups.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:

1. Rename the PROGMAN.INI file located in the WINDOWS directory to

   PROGMAN.BAK.

2. Re-install the IntelliType software.

3. Rename \WINDOWS\PROGMAN.BAK to \WINDOWS\PROGMAN.INI.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in IntelliType version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
