SYMPTOMS
========

If your Hewlett-Packard (HP) Vectra is running in standard mode in Windows 3.0,
you cannot use a hot key to move to an MS-DOS application. If you attempt to do
this, the screen becomes blank and your system stops responding (hangs).

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows version 3.0. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes
available.
