SYMPTOMS
========
After you enable 16-bit applications to run in separate memory spaces in Windows
NT version 3.5, you may receive the following error message when you attempt to
run any one of the 16-bit applications:
Error while setting up environment for the application.
WORKAROUND
==========
You can run all 16-bit applications in the same memory space by disabling the
option of "Run in Separate Memory Space" for each 16-bit application's program
item property.
You may also be able to work around this problem by editing the Visual C++
environment variable LIB. Remove the %lib% portion and replace it with a
complete path.
