    AST RESEARCH, INC.        TECHNICAL BULLETIN # 1497          5-30-96

    TITLE: Premmia LX and Windows 95

    SUMMARY

       The Windows 95 Registry becomes corrupted when installing hardware
       or software under Windows 95 on a Premmia LX system.

       This issue applies to all Premmia LX and Advantage! EXP systems.

    ISSUE

       The Premmia LX system corrupts the Windows 95 Registry when any
       ISA or PCI cards are inserted into the system.  This issue also
       occurs when the user installs any Windows application software
       packages, such as Microsoft Office 95.

    BACKGROUND

       Because the system was developed prior to release of Windows 95,
       AST does not support Windows 95 on the Premmia LX.

    ACTION

       Do not install Windows 95 on the Premmia LX.
