TITLE :EMM386.EXE: ALTBOOT Parameter
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system version 6.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:
A new parameter was added to EMM386.EXE in order to avoid problems
encountered when you attempt to reboot a computer with the key
combination CTRL+ALT+DEL. If your machine stops responding (hangs)
when you press CTRL+ALT+DEL, try adding the ALTBOOT parameter as in
the following example:
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE ALTBOOT X=C000-C7FF NOEMS
More Information:
The CTRL+ALT+DEL handling routine changed when EMM386.EXE was upgraded
in Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1. The ALTBOOT
parameter tells EMM386 to handle CTRL+ALT+DEL the same way it does in
Microsoft MS-DOS version 5.0. The ALTBOOT parameter may be needed on
UNISYS PW^2 3256 computers with Phoenix A386 BIOS copyrighted
1985,1991.
