The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

The "Microsoft Windows User's Guide" for version 3.0 contains incorrect
information in the "Configuring an 8086 or 8088 Computer" near the bottom
of page 502. The statement reads:

  If your system has an EGA monitor and you run non-Windows applications with
  Windows in real mode or standard mode, your CONFIG.SYS file should contain a
  command line like the following:

  device=c:\windows\ega.sys "

An 8086 or 8088 computer cannot run Windows in standard mode. Standard
mode requires a 80286, 80386, or 80486 microprocessor and extended
memory.
