- Every once and awhile my full screen dos session or full screen q-modem
- session will get cracked ascii characters on the tops of 0's R's and any
- character that has a curve in that part of the character.
-
- I'll also get lines across the entire horizontal plane on each row. The
- lines are broken-- made up of dashes.
-
- I've tried various memory locks and unlocks in the pifs. Exiting the
- program and reloading solves the problem. The programs work fine with
- the screen disruptions but I was wondering if anyone knows what it could
- be that's causing this strange pheonomena?
-
- I put in an ati 8514/ultra about a month ago but I recall having this
- problem before that. I never had this problem with win3.0 so I am assuming
- it is a 3.1 bug.
-
- I'm running it all on a ps/2 model 70 with 8meg ram.
-
- Anyone have any ideas? Is this puzzle an easy one to solve?
