Calculator Does Not Display Zeroes When Entering Decimals

Last reviewed: November 23, 1994
Article ID: Q84908

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows operating system versions 3.1, 3.11

SYMPTOMS

When a decimal number, such as 10.0005, is entered in Microsoft Windows Calculator (CALC.EXE) it displays only the first zero after the decimal point until a number other than zero is entered.

The Windows 3.1 Calculator behaves this way in both its scientific and standard modes of operation.

STATUS

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