I haven't managed to make it work from a dos shell in Windows 3.0

I find this a very interesting and pervasive attitude.  Everyone
expects IBM to provide SVGA, 1024x768, 32k colors, etc. video
support for every single kind of video card out there.  Yet, MS
(at least with 3.0) only provided standard VGA support with
Windows.  You had to get enhanced drivers from the board manufacturer.

The same is true with OS/2.  Give the board vendors a few weeks to
debug their video drivers with the release version of OS/2.  You'll
have all the enhanced modes shortly.  (Heck, some came out within
one week of OS/2).  I expect that by the time my copy of OS/2 arrives
in 2-3 weeks, the Orchid 1280 drivers will be on their BBS....

Neither I nor my brother has yet to see his yet.  :-(

My brother is going to fax Microsoft Canada tomorrow to get the info on when
the upgrade will be sent.  If the delay is too long, he's going to try to
cancel his order so that he can go down to Egghead (we have 'em here in
Vancouver) to buy one.  Egghead has had the upgrade and the "full" version
since 9:00 am on April 6.

That sounds very familiar.  I had the same problem with my SoundBlaster Pro
(do you have a Pro?).  I believe installing the new SoundBlaster Pro drivers
(on the Windows Resource Kit disks) solved the problem.  If not, something

The latest version of Sound Tool can play .wav files too.  Plus you can

I agree that you can't run multiple instances of the clock (and have no
idea why this restriction might be necessary) but I've had no problems
getting it to become the active window by double clicking...which I

Here is Paradise's BBS number: 4159681834. I called a few times but
there was no answer. If you have the 512k card with the Western 
Digital chipset and you know someone with a Gateway2000 386sx-20c or
lower or know someone that has access to Gateway's BBS you could use
the drivers they designed. Their 800*600*16 is a little faster than
the windows supplied driver. The 640*480*256 is even faster but the
svga 256 driver is about as worthless as a mac (in other words, it's
very slow. i'm not saying macs are slow but they are still worthless.)
If you have an older card I heard that there won't be any new drivers
but who know what that info is worth.

Hi!  someone recently mentiones that fastdisk in win 3.1 can be turned
on withe the 32BitDiskAccess, device=*int13, device=*wdctrl in system.ini

Fast disk was not installed on my PS/2 55SX because the setup could not
determine compatibility.  I was wondering whether it will be safe to
force fast disk by adding those lines.  Microsoft Tech adviced against it.
Anybody tried this?  What can go wrong?

On a related note, the PS/2 or PC DOS comes with a utility called Fastopen.
Should I use this in conjunction with Smartdrv and win 3.1 or will it only
slow things down rather than speed things up?  I has always used it with
no problems but will it be faster if I not use it?

hehe, well, I'm not that into the educational stuff.  Have to think of it from
the standpoint (though) that if you can program the punch cards and can get a
punch card reader for $10 vs. paying $100 for an assembler (and all you have
is $10 anyway), you might just go for the cards.  I am very much looking 
forward to getting some different development tools, but I reasoned that for
$100 I could get the assembler and if I learn it, I can do anything with it.
From various literature I've read concerning the programming of windows, it
only requires a relatively small library and then you're on your way.
Can't see how putting it in with the package would've hurt.  But anyway, 
what's done is done.  I would've felt the same way if they would've shipped
MSDOS 2.1 without GWBASIC and debug :)

I'm not sure if the Smartdrv did it or what not, but now, I cannot run
optimize for Qemm 6.02!!!!

Whenever I type "optimize," the computer just responds with:
	Cannot execute c:\qemm\optimize.com


Anyone had this problem before?  HELP!!!
			Thank you.

Try editing your setup.inf file in your windows\system directory.  Change
the font description in the vidow device drive you are using from 
100,120,120 to 100,96,96.  Then re-install your video selection using
the setup program.  Note that you will have to setup one time to change
to any different video driver, and then again to change back to the
one you are using now.  If you don't do this, it will continue
to use the originally loaded parameters, even though you have changed
them in .inf.

good luck
