- I have this problem that I didn't used to have before I installed a Diamond
- Stealth VRAM board in my 386/40. It seems that when ever I run a DOS
- program or shell out to DOS, either in a Window or full screen, from Windows
- 3.1 and return to Windows, Windows goes flakely. Icons start blanking
- uncontrollably, the screen goes blank, the mouse cursor has a mind of its
- own. In other words Windows is useless, I have to exit the best I can and
- restart to gain control. I have even gone so far as to eliminate all DOS
- program icons so that I don't have to deal with the problem. This shouldn't
- be! I used to have a Paradise SVGA board without this problem, but now I
- do. Does anyone else have this problem, or familiar with the solution?
