The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.0, 3.0a

SYMPTOMS

If you paste into an MS-DOS application under Microsoft Windows 3.0 enhanced mode with VT52.SYS loaded, you may receive a "system integrity violation" error.

CAUSE

This error is due to a problem in the VT52.SYS device driver, which has no overflow checking for its buffer.

WORKAROUND

Turning off the Allow Fast Paste option in the PIF file may help to correct the problem.
