- Description of bugs corrected by this Driver Update
-
- 1. In certain rare instances, the fonts would become corrupted. The only
- known ways to cause this were to allow Wintach to run for 2 days, or to fiddle
- with the darkness adjustment on the After Dark flying toasters screen saver.
-
- 2. Garbage would appear on the After Dark virtigo screen saver.
-
- 3. The game Taipei 3 would get garbage if the windows were stretched.
-
- 4. A text clipping problem would occur after scrolling in the windows file
- manager.
-
- 5. The Microsoft flying windows screen saver would sometimes generate a
- general protection fault.
-
- 6. Stray pixels would appear at the left and right sides of the tool bar
- when running the Wintach CAD benchmark.
-
- 7. Some colors would be displayed wrong in Adobe Illustrator 4.
-
- Note that these problems are common to Windows drivers for Cirrus 5426 based
- cards from other vendors also.
