- Hi. I have also recently started having the same problem with my Tseng ET4000-
- based Pixel VGA card, except I'm running Windows 3.0! I found that toggling
- the DOS app between windowed and full screen fixes the problem. However, is it
- true that Windows 3.1 no longer supports Alt-Enter to do this?
