SYMPTOMS

After you install Internet Explorer in Windows NT Workstation, the Shut Down menu may be elongated and may scroll off the screen.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if a policy for Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 98 clients is installed on a Windows NT-based computer.

RESOLUTION

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

For information about how to edit the registry, view the "Changing Keys and Values" Help topic in Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) or the "Add and Delete Information in the Registry" and "Edit Registry Data" Help topics in Regedt32.exe. Note that you should back up the registry before you edit it. If you are running Windows NT, you should also update your Emergency Repair Disk (ERD).

To resolve this issue, use Registry Editor to locate the following key in the registry:

HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\WinOldApp

Change the data value of the NoRealMode value from 1 to 0.

MORE INFORMATION

This policy is intended to prevent Windows 95 or Windows 98 clients from rebooting to MS-DOS mode from within Windows.
