Hello friends,
my question as the subject says deals with Norton Desktop
and Stacker 2.0.  A friend told me to make sure that Norton
Desktop for 
Windows may have a problem with its anti-virus program 
and my Stacker 2.0.  Is this true and is there a way to 
avoid it if so.

I am waiting to install Norton Desktop.

Thanks in advance Larry

I need to find the latest Windows drivers for the Genoa SuperVGA 6400
card.  Does anybody know the phone number to the Genoa Support BBS?
I've tried the Microsoft BBS and didn't find any Genoa drivers.  Would
these drivers go by any other names (such as Tseng, etc)?

Thanks in advance for you help.

I have not got the manual on the color monitor handy but judging on the
amount of heat that eminates from it I would have to say that it probably
draws more power than the box itself.  Our computers are left on
continuously (even the dos boxes are scheduled to kick of jobs though out
the night) but the monitors are often switched off.

Not only have you got the cost of running the hardware, but you also have
to cool the room down which also chewws up watts..... there is more to a
computer system than just the cpu and box :-).

Date: 14 Dec 92 15:49:19 GMT
Organization: University of Maine System

Having exhausted my resources, I am in need of some help in
determining the source of errors I encounter in windows 3.1.
Randomly windows will report that a general protection fault
in module xxxxxxxx.xxx occured at xxxx:xxxx.  The exact text
for the x's here varies with just about every app I have.
Most commonly progman, user.exe, drwatson.exe, and coreldrw.exe.
Also the message Waldo caused a segment load failure and or
general protection fault are seen as well.  Sometimes, windows
will begin to load then revert back to Dos.  All my dos apps
work just fine.  I have loaded my Win 3.1 again and also tried
using another copy just to rule that out.  No luck.  Have tried
every known variation of autoexec and config.sys with know help
either.  The machine this mess is running on is a 386-33 w/4meg.
Ami bios of may 1992 vintage.  It has an Intel 386 chip and the
rest is opti chip set.  Memory checks out fine as does the hd.
Has anyone out there seen a mess like this before?  Your kind
assistance greatly appreciated.

Yep!  You may want to check out the latest issue of PC Magazine (Vol. 12, 
No. 1; January 12, 1993) for some up-to-date info.  Get an accelerator that 
matches YOUR work habits.

If you do buy a new monitor, try to get one that is 
microprocessor-controlled and allows for storing of user-defined settings.  
Some monitors do not switch between resolutions well unless you load an 
additional TSR that controls your monitor's video mode and refresh rate.

Try also to get a card that supports high refresh rates at the resolutions 
you enjoy!  Good luck to ya!

Sure can. Or better yet you can help yourself. Under the Main Group click
on the control panel icon. Then click on the international icon. Under 
keyboard layout select US-Dvorak. That should work. It may have you dig
out your Windows disks to load a new driver in but that should be it.

  I read in the ProAudio Spectrum reference something about this. Check
  the win.ini file for the mvproaud driver section. They say something
  about changing the driver you use. You see, when you start windows,
  it overlays new drivers, and these won't run the DOS apps like TBPRO.
  You have to use drivers that will run the DOS apps. OR, you could 
  do the old remove the driver manually trick.
  Anyway, check the doc, it's in there.

Subject: Mouse works in standard mode, but not enhanced
Date: 16 Dec 92 12:35:20 GMT
Organization: University of Pittsburgh

I just upgraded from Windows 3.0 to 3.1, using a 386SX with 2MB RAM.
Because I did not have any customization information I needed to save,
and because I didn't have room on my disk to upgrade by writing over
3.0, I erased all 3.0 files and did a complete new install.

3.1 starts in standard mode, as is expected with my 2MB of RAM, and it
works properly, except that I get an out-of-memory message when I try to
use the Help feature. However, when I force it to start in enhanced mode
(using the /3 switch), the mouse does not respond at all. This occurred
after the Windows installation, after manually copying mouse.sys to
c:\windows (where config.sys was looking for it) from installation Disk
8, and after running the mouse setup routines on installation Disk 8
from within Windows 3.0.

How is it possible for the mouse to work properly in standard mode but
not in enhanced mode? All modes worked properly in 3.0.

Thanks,

David

I had exactly the same problem upgrading my 486-33 from 4Mb. up to 8Mb. and I

Parity errors are quite allways broken chips errors.

This is directly from the printers.wri file in your windows dir.
____________________________________________________________________
4.3  Printing a PostScript Print File in UNIX

The PostScript printer driver inserts a CTRL+D key combination at the
beginning of every print job to reset the printer. Because UNIX systems
recognize CTRL+D as an end-of-file character, any print files you create by
using the PostScript printer driver do not print in UNIX. You can correct
this
problem by removing the CTRL+D key combination from the print job. To do
this, add the following setting to the [ModelName,Port] section in the
WIN.INI file (where ModelName is the name of your PostScript printer
model):

CtrlD=0

For more information about editing the WIN.INI file, see the WININI.WRI
online document.

HI all !

I ran into this strange problem of Windows Help/About.. showing, I only have 
7...10 KB free memory and 68 % free system resources. All win-programs show 
the same: the numeric value is in the reasonable range but it's certainly 
not KBs but MBs. I'm running Win3.1 from a Novell network on a 386/25 PC 
with 8M RAM, 105M hard disk (permanent swap file about 5 M), no "extra" 
memory managers, just DOS5. I have reinstalled Windows from the network, but 
to no avail.

My autoexec:

Programs as such do run OK most of the time (no complaints about lack of

Where's the BUG ?

Subject: Another ALT-TAB from DOS box problem (maybe)
Organization: JHU/Applied Physics Laboratory
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 1992 14:54:45 GMT

This is not really serious, but it has me wondering.  I remember when
I first installed Windows 3.1 being impressed with how polished the
ALT-TAB command sequence looked from a DOS box.  A color line with
highlighted text appeared at the top of the screen.  At least thats
how I think I remember it.  Anyway, now after a few months and a 
reinstallation of Win 3.1, the ALT-TAB screen sequence does not 
appear as I seem to remember it.  Now, the screen blanks out, and 
a white, reverse text line appears briefly at the top.  This is
immediately replaced by the same text, not reversed, but highlighted.
This whole process is a lot less smooth than I remember.  Does anyone 
have an idea about what might be happening?
