  • Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

CAUSE

The cause is under investigation.

RESOLUTION

There is no resolution available at this time. This affects only how WINMSD detects the MIPS R4400: it does not affect performance or how Windows NT uses the processor.
