SYMPTOMS
========
If you run Microsoft Diagnostics (MSD.EXE) with Windows 3.0 in 386 enhanced
mode, you receive the following message:
Error: You have attempted to run a protected-mode application in 386 enhanced
mode. To run the application, exit and run Windows using either the WIN /S or
the WIN /R command.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, create an icon for MSD with the following command
line:
" c:\dos\msd.exe /i " (without the quotation marks)
The /I switch bypasses the initial hardware (memory) detection.
