Must Acknowledge Hard Error Message Before Program Closes

ID: Q101769


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows NT 3.1
  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1


SUMMARY

If an MS-DOS-based application causes a hard error and the dialog box is up for that application when you attempt to log off, you won't be able to finish logging off until you acknowledge the dialog box. However, if a Windows-based application causes a hard error, you can log off without acknowledging the dialog box. The hard error dialog box remains active on the screen. Because the hard error handler has an open reference to the application, the application is not destroyed until the hard error is acknowledged.

NOTE: This does not jeopardize security in any way.
