SYMPTOMS

If you load EMM386.SYS in the CONFIG.SYS file, run Microsoft LAN Manager version
2.0 enhanced as your network, and try to start Microsoft Windows version 3.0
with the WIN /S switch, you may get the following error message:

  Cannot run Windows in Standard Mode. Check to ensure you are not running
  other protected-mode software, or run in real mode.

WORKAROUND
==========

To allow standard mode to run, do one of the following:

- Remove or comment out the line in the [workstation] section of your
  LANMAN.INI file that reads

          LIM=YES

  -or-

- Make a boot disk with a CONFIG.SYS file that does not load EMM386.SYS if you
  want to use standard mode.
