Executor and Matrox MGA Millenium



Here is some of my problems running Executor with the video card Matrox 
MGA Millenium. I have posted this before at questions@ardi.com and I post 
this here if anybody could help or have experience with it.

Under Windows 3.x (with QEMM 7.5), there is a random chance of success 
for Executor to be launched properly, depending on the applications 
running, before, or during the time executor is working. I have seen a 
lot of fantaisist behaviour of the video once Executor is launched.

  OK I have test several things to run executor without QEMM 7.5, the 
program works fine under Windows 3.x, and it is launched properly every 
time. But, but, the video problems still persist when you try to scroll 
with the Alt-Tab or the Ctrl-Esc keys between different applications. 
These tests have been performed with executor in 256 colors mode in 
640x480 resolution, Windows using Matrox video drivers in 256 or 16M 
colors in 800x600 resolution. Another problem I would submit to you is 
that executor launched under dos with the -size 800x600 arg with only 2 
TSR loaded (HIMEM and MOUSE) crashes systematically giving the following 
message: 
"General Protection Fault at eip=00af104

0x0016e561"

Other resolutions 640x480,1024x768, etc are working fine. The same thing 
was done under Windows with sames arguments, and there is only video 
problems with the mouse cursor..

cwsdpmi does not change anything of the symptoms described above, 
although, I wonder if Windows does (or not) provide a DPMI support?
