SYMPTOMS
========

When you start Microsoft Anti-Virus for Windows under Microsoft Windows version
3.0 or 3.0a in real mode, you may receive one or both of the following error
messages (depending on your system configuration):

  MWAVABSI.DLL Error - Application failed to initialize the library.

-or-

  MWAVABSI.DLL Error
  Insufficient extended (Windows) memory. Needed: 320000 byte(s).

NOTE: This also happens with Windows 3.1 in standard or enhanced mode under very
low memory situations (less than 500 kilobytes free).

CAUSE
=====

These messages occur because Microsoft Anti-Virus for Windows requires expanded
memory, which Microsoft Windows does not provide in real or standard modes.
