Most 386-Based Memory Managers Not Supported

ID: Q101779

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1

SUMMARY

Most 386/486-based memory managers expect to manage page tables; Windows NT cannot allow this for security reasons.

NOTE: Some 286-based memory managers can work on RISC-based computers because VDMs (virtual DOS machines) act as complete 286 machines and applications can control the local and global descriptor tables.
