It is the same problem for me: I have a P133 16meg and Matrox MGA Millenium
 w/2mb WRAM. I have tried several command lines switches without any success
 :-((

To make a long story short here is my results: 

1024*768=works fine in MS-DOS  in 16 or 256 colors
         works in WFW randomly about 1% of all tests (mouse problems..)

800*600=never works in MSDOS:crash the system
        works 1 time only !!

640*480=works fine in MS-DOS in 16 or 256 colors
        works sometimes in WFW ****

****here there is two problems: When executor is launched, the program check the
 hard drive. This process is successful in MS-DOS but not in Windows. I suspect 
the ontrack manager driver (wich allows WFW to work in 32 bit mode (because the 
hard drive used is not "Western Digital compatible" : quantum fireball)) to 
cause many problems... This is the first problem. Am I wrong??


The second problem is that you cannot switch  between executor and Windows and 
back to executor again without video problems, but this one has not been solved 
for anybody??

Another point I want to mention is: when executor is launched properly under 
WFW, and if you have shared directory on another computer (using NetBUI), you
can see on the hot band networked drives? I was thinking that executor does not 
support network? May I miss something? Maybe Cliff or Matt could explain this 
thing ??

Excuse my confuse english...
