- I found that just running the "vmode" program with whatever resolution you're
- running the WPS at fixes this. I use 1024x768x256 and I run "vmode 38" to
- fix it.
-
- In fact, I made a little batch file and assigned it to my desktop so I can
- get to it in spite of the craziness. All it contains is
-
- @echo off
- c:\ss24\vmode 38
- exit
-
- and that fixes it.
