TITLE :16-Bit Windows-Based Applications May Hang w/Network Printer
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In Windows NT, if you lose your connection to a network printer and it
is set as the default printer, 16-bit Windows-based applications may
load significantly slower than usual or appear to hang completely.
When 16-bit Windows-based applications, such as Write, attempt to
load, they may search for a printer. If the printer is a network
printer and the connection has been broken, the application may load
very slowly or appear to hang.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, install a local printer and set it as the
default, reestablish the network connection, or remove the network
connection entirely.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Steps to Reproduce Problem
--------------------------
1. In Print Manager, connect to a network printer and set it as your
default printer.
2. Close Print Manager and return to Program Manager.
3. Open Write from the Accessories group twice.
NOTE: The reason for doing this twice is that if no other 16-bit
Windows-based applications have been loaded, the first launch of
Write will take longer because it has to load the 16-bit Windows
Subsystem.
4. Notice the time Write takes to load.
5. Close all instances of Write.
6. Unplug the network cable from the network card.
NOTE: Consult with your Network Administrator before removing any
network hardware.
7. Restart Write and notice the extra time it takes to load.
