SYMPTOMS
========

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups ClipBook viewer version 3.1 creates a thumbnail
drawing of a ClipBook page when you choose Paste from the Edit menu.

If your third-party video driver does not correctly implement small text fonts,
you will receive a general protection (GP) fault in the video driver.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows for Workgroups versions
3.1 and 3.11. We are researching this problem and will post new information here
as it becomes available.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, use the video graphics adapter (VGA) or Super VGA
driver provided with Windows for Workgroups or contact your third-party vendor
to obtain an updated driver.
