-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

You are unable to use the keyboard to scroll through the list of installed
printers in the Print dialog box in the tools included with Windows 95 (such as
Paint).

CAUSE
=====

This is a known problem with 32-bit programs that use the Comdlg32.dll file.

RESOLUTION
==========

You can press ALT+DOWN ARROW to access the drop-down list box containing the
list of installed printers. Once the list box is open, use the ARROW keys to
scroll through the list. Note that if the mouse pointer is over one of the
printers, the selection highlight will return to that printer. Move the mouse
pointer out of the list box to correct this problem.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Windows 95. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
