SYMPTOMS
========

When you play Microsoft Fighter Ace II, you may experience one of the following

window from another program pops up on the screen:

- Fighter Ace II may stop responding or quit.

- Fighter Ace II may no longer be displayed correctly.

- You may receive an error message.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because Fighter Ace II does not support task switching
to a different program while it is running.

Fighter Ace II and do not attempt to task switch to a different program when you
play Fighter Ace II.
