- I have been using windows successfully for some time...
- I upgraded to a 486 and all seemed well....
- I then tried a new VGA card (and several more since) but am having
- problems when going to the dos prompt (in 3.1). This is only a problem
- when I am logged on to the network and thus have less memory to deal with.
- (I still have over 530Kb)
- The problem/s is... no text displays in the dos prompt window or full screen.
- or with another card... text in the windowed dos prompt but not when I
- switch to full screen.
- or with an accelerator VGA card.. will not go into the dos prompt at all..
- windows times out and tells me there's an error.. all other programs work
- well and do not cause problems.
-
- Does anyone have any clues as to whats going on??
- I have tried playing around with the dosprompt pif but cannot improve on the
- above scenario.
-
- Thanks
- David
