SUMMARY

If you press the PRINT SCREEN key during the text-based portion of Windows NT 4.0 Setup, your computer may reboot, or you may receive an EMM386 exception error message.

MORE INFORMATION

Windows NT text-based Setup screens cannot be sent to the printer using the PRINT SCREEN key.

When you install Windows NT from MS-DOS or Windows 95 using Winnt.exe, special input keys such as PRINT SCREEN are not disabled. This is done in case you terminate Setup and return to your current operating system. However, pressing PRINT SCREEN within Windows NT Setup can cause the situation described above.
