DOCUMENT:Q102129 04-NOV-1993 [W_NT]
TITLE :Garbled Windowed MS-DOS-Based Application in 256-Color Mode
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If you run a 256-color graphics MS-DOS-based application on a machine
with a video card that uses the Trident 8900c chip set, switching to
windowed mode from full screen mode does not display the graphics
correctly in the frozen window.
CAUSE
=====
The Trident 8900c chip set stores video data differently from other
VGA cards in this mode. In 256-color mode, there are two standards of
storing data, neither of which seem to be used by the Trident 8900c
chip set.
RESOLUTION
==========
There is no resolution. However, in this mode, you cannot work with
the application, and therefore no functionality is lost.
