SYMPTOMS
You cannot close a main "button" option in the Microsoft Diagnostic
Utility (MSD.EXE) after you choose a command from the File, Utilities,
or Help menus if the option's window is displayed on the screen.
If you press ENTER to close the window or press F3 to exit MSD, there is no
response (although the keyboard may appear to stop responding [hang]).
WORKAROUND
Exit the window by choosing OK with the mouse, or exit MSD by using
the ALT+F+X (ALT+File+Exit) key combination. You cannot close the
button option by pressing ENTER, and you cannot exit MSD.EXE by
pressing F3; these keyboard commands do not work.
MORE INFORMATION
The MSD button options include Computer, Memory, Video, Network, OS
Version, Mouse, Other Adapters, Disk Drives, LPT Ports, COM Ports, IRQ
Status, TSR Programs, and Device Drivers.
NOTE: You may experience this problem in any button option windows.
STATUS

Windows 3.1 and 3.11), version 2.0a (which ships with Microsoft Windows for
Workgroups version 3.1), 2.01 (which ships with MS-DOS versions 6.0, 6.2,
