- I like what is described of Desqview/X in the literature, and I actually bought
- it but installing it failed and subsequent experience dealing with a Quarterdec
- guy in Sydney is a nightmare. It took me three months and dozens of phone
- calls to get a replacement from him, and the old problems remain. It's with
- the fifth installation disk ('installation of vga 16 color driver failed...') and
- I don't have the energy to call the Sydney guy again. Have you ever had any problem installing it?
