That's the display, obviously it isn't one of the ones that will retain

From: trekkie@netlink.cts.com (Bryce Newall)
Date: Sat, 05 Sep 92 22:05:03 PDT
Organization: NetLink Online Communications, San Diego CA

I am running Windows 3.1 in 386 Enhanced mode on a 386DX-25.  A friend of 
mine runs it on a 486-33.  Whenever he runs a DOS program that uses the 
mouse, if he switches the program from full-screen to windowed, moving 
the Windows mouse pointer also moves the DOS program's mouse cursor.  
However, when I switch to windowed on my system, the DOS program's mouse 
cursor won't budge until I swtich back to full-screen.  (The keyboard 
continues to function normally.)  What am I doing wrong?  Any help will 
be greatly appreciated.

Replace the 449 with a cheap VGA card.  The 449 does not support VGA.  It 
was designed via the VGA spec supplied by IBM before the PS/2 came out (the 
first computer to support VGA).  It is bios compatable to VGA but not 
hardware compatable.  This is what gives it the 640x480 res.  Zenith will 
not be providing a driver for VGA resolution for this card.  

With VGA cards under $100 you should just upgrade to VGA and everything will 
work great.

Keywords: drag selected area
Date: 8 Sep 92 16:06:46 GMT

I am having a problem with Windows 3.1 Paintbrush.  I would like to move
images but can't seem to do it.  I use pick to select cut areas.  I know this 
is working because if I select cut from the edit menu, the selected area is cut.
Windows documentation says that to move cut areas in the same file, move the 
cursor into the cut area, hold down control and drag with either the left or 
right mouse button.  When I try this with the left mouse button, rather than 
dragging the image, windows just defines a new cut area.  If I do it with the 
right mouse button, nothing happens.  I have also tried to move a cut area 
using "cut" and "paste".  However, "paste" always puts the cut area in the upper
left corner.

I am sure I must be overlooking something obvious.  Can anyone tell me what I
am doing wrong?  Thanks for your help.

I have this video card in a Zenith 386 system.  I even got a VGA monitor 
when my EGA monitor quit working.  I have been using Windows in EGA mode,
but since the Z449 card is capable of VGA resolution (640x480x16), it would
be nice if it could be used in VGA mode.  I would also be interested
if anyone has any solutions.

I feel pretty comfortable editing the system files for
Windows and playing around with less-than-normal settings,
so don't steer me away from books written for experienced
Windows users.

Thanx in advance for any net/e-mail replies.

Problem with Winfax PRO,

I just bought a SUPRA FAX MODEM (v32,v32bis, v42bis, 9600 Fax) and
wanted to use my Winfax Pro with it. There some problems occured which
could be corrected by an update of the MOD.EXE File of Winfax PRO by 
the modem manufacturor. But now I have problems to send Faxes from
WinWORD 2.0. If I send any graphics with a Winword  2.0 Document the
graphic just turns out black and white. I meen, just black aeras and
white aeras, no grays at all. The same problem occures with some Shareware
graphicprograms also, but I did not expect it to happened with Winword 2.0.
Other programs like Coreldraw 2.0 or Pagemaker 4.0 have no problems
at all.

I just would like to know, whether someone else has some Problems 
of the same kind with Winfax P

Unfortunately, I don't think that's possible, because version 2 has not  
been released yet.  There were several hacks going around, but thanks to  
all of those alert people out there, is was soon stopped.  There may be  
some copies still floating around, but do not attempt to use them, because  
they will destroy your hard drive.

My suggestion is try using ver 1.1 or 1.93 and see what happens.  If they  
don't work, then wait about a month until version 2 comes out!

This one looks like a candidate for the FAQL.
 
The most recent discussion of this question came up with a few answers, but I
think the best was to get the Microsoft TrueType Font Pack. It costs something
like forty bucks and includes all of the PostScript fonts plus a couple of
others. The Palatino version is called Book Antiqua, and when I compare it to
my Adobe Type 1 Palatino, there are virtually no differences, except the
TrueType one comes out just a little cleaner. All of the fonts on the package
are really high quality.  It's available almost everywhere--CompUSA, PC
Connection, Egghead, etc.
 
I hope this is of value.

Hello All,

	I have recently upgraded to Win 3.1 on my 386. It has a 120 meg HD,
and 4 M RAM. 
	It seems that Win is creating a huge (12 meg) file in my root
directory with a Hidden attribute. This is on top of the amount of space
Windows is taking up in its own subdirectories! I have deleted this file a
couple of times, but Windows keeps re-creating it (however, not every time I
use the software).
	My question is: Am I alone in this??? or is this normal.
	If this IS normal, then it seems a bit presumptuous of Windows to
hog such a huge amount of space!!
