Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

If you perform a warm undocking operation with a full-screen MS-DOS session active, the display may become corrupted.

CAUSE

When a full-screen MS-DOS session is running, the program that changes the screen resolution between docking sessions can lose the proper settings.

RESOLUTION

Warm undocking while a full-screen MS-DOS session is active is not supported by Windows 95.

Before you perform a warm undocking operation, press ALT+ENTER to change the full screen MS-DOS session into a windowed MS-DOS session.
