- Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

SYMPTOMS
========
If you attempt to print to the FILE port from Microsoft Windows 3.0, and you
don't have enough disk space free, you receive an error and printing is
terminated. In real mode, the error message is
Cannot print
while in standard or enhanced modes, it is
Insufficient Disk Space
After receiving the error, you may find that the System Resources percentage has
reduced 20-60 percent.
WORKAROUND
==========
Microsoft recommends that you quit and restart Windows to regain the System
Resources. The workaround is to assure that you have sufficient free disk space
before attempting to print to the FILE port.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.0. We are researching
this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
