Program Manager Groups Don't Migrate from Windows 3.1 (101224)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server 3.1
This article was previously published under Q101224 SYMPTOMS
You upgrade from Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 or
Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version 3.1 to Windows NT and some of your
Program Manager groups are not migrated. The unmigrated groups had a large
number icons. Under Windows 3.1, you were using a 256-color or greater
video driver.
NOTE: You can check which groups did not migrate from Event Viewer.
CAUSE
Under Windows NT, each Program Manager group file is limited to 64KB.
Running a video driver with a large color palette increases the
storage requirements for each icon. Any Program Manager group files
exceeding 64KB will not be migrated to Windows NT.
RESOLUTION
Before installing Windows NT, change your Windows video driver to 16
colors.
-or-
Before installing Windows NT, remove unnecessary program items (icons)
from Program Manager groups.
