Visual Basic Menus Disappear Using Shell Technology Preview

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 3.51
• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 3.51

SYMPTOMS

On your Windows NT computer running the Shell Technology Preview for Windows NT 3.51, toolbars, tooltips, and/or menus display incorrectly or not at all in applications created in Visual Basic.

CAUSE

The Shell Technology Preview has not been fully tested and should not be deployed in production environments. There is currently no official Microsoft Product Support Services support available for using the Shell Technology Preview on Windows NT version 3.51. If you wish to join other customers who are using and exchanging feedback on the Shell Technology Preview, Section 15 of the MSDR forum on CompuServe has been created for this type of member-to-member communication.

If you wish to report a problem, please do so through our CompuServe or Internet services as follows. These are not support locations, but may be used to submit problems you encounter, using PROBREP.TXT (the problem report template included with the NewShell files).

CompuServe: Upload PROBREP.TXT to the WINNT forum, Library 3.

FTP: Connect to ftp.microsoft.com

ftp>cd e: ftp>cd incoming/bussys/winnt/probrep ftp>bin ftp>put probrep.txt

RESOLUTION

To correct these problems it is necessary to remove the New Shell by running SHUPDATE.CMD /U. This command will remove the Shell Technology Preview Update and reinstall Program Manager from the previous Windows NT 3.51 configuration.

STATUS

These problems will be corrected in the next released version of Windows NT incorporating the new Shell Technology.
