Some Ahead VGA cards (identified as "AVGA" on the BIOS chip)
ship with a BIOS that contains a bug: the ES register is bombed
when the BIOS handles an INT 10, function 1C call (Save/Restore
Display State). This bug causes DESQview to crash as it is
starting up; the first sign of the problem is that the DESQview
Install program crashes just after the point at which Install
searches the hard disk for programs that DESQview recognizes - in
other words, at the point at which it runs the DESQview Setup
program,
The TSR program AHEAD.COM eliminates this problem if run before
DESQview. It should be placed in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, as it
should have no bad effect on any other program.
