SYMPTOMS
When you start Windows or Windows for Workgroups, you may receive the
following error message:

group or the Load= line of the WIN.INI file.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, either add the VSAFE command to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, or remove MWAVTSR.EXE from the Startup group and the
WIN.INI Load= line.
