SUMMARY
=======

Section 9.7, "Third Party Display Drivers Running Non-Windows Applications," in
the Windows 3.1 README.WRI file incorrectly instructs you to change the setting
in the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file:

     device=*vddvg

The SYSTEM.INI file setting should read:

     display=*vddvga

Additional query words: 3.10 docerr 386 enh
