SUMMARY
=======
This article describes the reasons why you may be unable to switch from a
non-Windows application in standard mode.
MORE INFORMATION
================
An inability to switch from a non-Windows application in standard mode can occur
for any of the following reasons:
- One or more of the Directly Modifies options is set in the PIF file for the
application.
- The application is trapping all keyboard input. The application must be
closed to switch back to Windows.
- The Prevent Program Switch option is selected in the PIF file for the
application.
- Shortcut keys normally used by Windows, such as ALT+TAB, are reserved for use
by the application in the PIF file.
- The wrong video mode is incorrectly selected in the PIF file.
- Your video display is an EGA, and the driver EGA.COM is improperly installed
in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Ensure that the file EGA.COM resides in the Windows
system directory.
- The non-Windows application is using a video mode that is not supported
currently under Windows; therefore, Windows cannot save or restore the
display when switching.
