Unloading TSRs Manually; Still Get TSR Support Message

ID: Q59700

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a

If you run a TSR (terminate and stay resident) program, such as SideKick, in an MS-DOS virtual machine under Microsoft Windows version 3.0 enhanced mode and then unload the TSR and exit the virtual machine, you continue to receive the "Windows TSR Support" message even though the TSR has been unloaded.

This is because although there is a mechanism for Windows to determine if a TSR has been loaded, there is no way for Windows to tell if the TSR has been unloaded. Once it is loaded, a flag is set that a TSR is present. Thus, you receive the TSR support message even if you have unloaded the TSR manually.
