Subject: DOS Ventura Publisher breaks after installing Windows 3.1?
Organization: AT&T
Distribution: usa
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 1992 07:04:09 GMT

Hi all,

	I recently upgraded my system to Windows 3.1 (from 3.0).  The Windows
program itself, and the other Windows applications seem to be working fine,
as much (or little) as we have tested them.  However, the Ventura Publisher
application (DOS GEM version) doesn't get past its first step of loading
the "EDCO Hyphenation Dictionary".  This is from DOS, without even having
Windows running, even immediately after resetting the system (never even
running Windows before VP).  The computer just completely hangs, requiring
a reboot.

	I determined that if I restore the previous CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
versions that both Ventura and Windows seem to work OK (again with limited
testing so far).  The difference between the two versions is where the
HIMEM, EMM386, and SMARTDRV are accessed from.  The older (pre 3.1) version
of these was the DOS 5.0 versions from my C:\DOS directory.  The new version
gets them from C:\WINDOWS.  Another difference (besides the new version having
a STACKS line in config.sys) is that the SMARTDRV.EXE line is in the
autoexec.bat file in the new version and is not loaded high, while the older
version uses SMARTDRV.SYS in the config.sys and is loaded high.

	I want to use the newer Windows 3.1 versions if possible, and so I
tried using the new config/autoexec files and trying to have Windows launch
Ventura.  I fiddled with various .pif settings for it, but the result was
always the same:


				Ventura 3.0
  ____
/      \   This application has violated system integrity due to execution of
| STOP |   an invalid instruction and will be terminated.
\ ____ /   Quit all applications, quit Windows, and then restart your
           computer.
				  ______
				 |  OK  |
				  ~~~~~~

	Clicking on the OK box clears this message from the desktop, and I
can then quit Windows and reset.  This message box would appear before any
Ventura screens appeared (including blanking the Windows desktop since the
.pif file specified running Ventura full screen).  I'm assuming it died again
with loading the EDCO Hyphenation Dictionary, although there was no indication
of that on the screen.

	I went back to the DOS 5.0 versions and I could even run Ventura
from Windows with these files (as well as it working without Windows).

	So, any ideas about why the new versions won't let Ventura run, even
(especially) without Windows running?  Are there existence proofs of Ventura
running with these files?  What instructions would be invalid under Windows
(I'm assuming that it is a real opcode that is rejected, trapped, or whatever
by Windows), and just hang the system with the new memory management files
in place?

	Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Please e-mail replies to the
following address since I have trouble keeping up with many news groups.

Thank you,

Hi all,

I have Windows 3.1 set up for SVGA (800x600 pixels).  Windows
seems to run fine, except for 1 problem.

Whenever I try to get an MS-DOS prompt, or use the File Manager
to run an application that needs the entire screen, the application
runs fine.  However, when I quit the application (and return
to windows), the machine hangs and garbage is displayed on the
monitor.

When I change the settings to VGA, this problem does not occur.

Other info:  I have a Packard Bell 486/33, 4 Megs of Ram,
SVGA card and Monitor, Dos 5.0.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to solve this problem.
Could you e-mail them directly to me, as well as posting.

Thanks in advance,

Last week I posted a question on what HIMEM.sys to use (the one
in DOS5.0, Windows3.1, or in C++ 7.0) I called MS. The support
person asked me to ignore the one in DOS 5.0 since Windows 3.1 came
after that.  Also If you are developing C++ (not necessarily Windows app.)
from Windows 3.1 environment, then use HIMEM.sys in Windows 3.1

If you are dveloping C++ from DOS environment, then you need the C++
HIMEM.sys PLUS 386-MAX or other such software.

Thanks to those who replied.  I have solved the problem.
com3 was using irq2, so I set it up in windows for irq2.
But it should have been irq9, since irq2 is rerouted
to irq9 on the isa bus.  Still don't know how to handle
the 16500's fifos in 3.0, but it doesn't really matter.

Hi again,

I received a response from Fouad Abdel-Rahim (thanks) saying that
it was probably the svga driver that was the problem.  I should
use the one supplied with the hardware instead of windows 3.1.

However, I had trouble installing the driver.  I ran the install
program on my vga disk that came with the computer.  It had
windows 3.0 drivers instead of 3.1, but I went ahead with the install.
This install replaced my setup.inf file with one that windows did
not like.

So, I reinstalled windows 3.1, then from the setup menu tried to
add an "other VGA driver".  It asked me for my vga disk and 
installed the new vga driver.  Everything seemed to work fine now.
However the next time I quit windows and tried to restart it,
it could not find my driver.

My ultimate solution (which I think works ok) was to manually
copy the driver that I needed over the driver that was supplied
with windows 3.1, and then configure windows so that it thought
it was using its own driver.

However, I am curious to know why I couldn't install the new
driver by legitimate methods.

Any ideas?  Please mail to dannyj@oakhill.sps.mot.com

Thanks,
Danny Jain

what I've got? Is it a 'good' unit? Any problems/successes encountered?
Is the price reasonable? Anything else?

Please reply either to Followup above or email directly to the internet

Try the "/I" switch.  This causes Setup to skip hardware detection.  You
will then have to check the settings on the System Information screen
yourself, but it is better than not working at all.  By the way, you
can also do "SETUP /?" to get a short description of the available
options to Setup.

Where in the world did you get this machine?!?!?!  I've heard of 486DX/2 50's
and 486DX 50's, and I know they're supposed to be coming out with a 486DX/2 66,
but that's not even out yet (I don't think).  But I've never heard of a
486DX/2 64 (which means the bus speed is 32MHz--another odd number).

Well, I've checked back postings, manuals, and cica, and still can't
find drivers that do what -should- be possible.  (Like that should be
anything new to folks)

I've got a Orchid Designer800 VGA video card here, circa 1989. 
According to the docs, it should be able to support 800x600 in 16
colors.  However, all I can get it to do with the Win3.1-supplied
drivers is 640x480.  Tried the various Orchid-related files from cica,
but they're all drivers for later and greater video cards.

As a last resort I RTFMed and tried calling the number given as
Orchid's BBS - no answer.

So, does anyone either have drivers for this card, or a working phone
number for Orchid's BBS?

Reply via email, please.  If there is interest, I'll summarize any
info I receive back to the newsgroup.

Thanks!

Get DRDOS 6.0 - it will self install and configure your system perfect for
Windows - and runs faster than either of the others.

Not to mention it's just been released with the companion NWLite from Novell
for an introductory offer of $79.

For that price you can dump either of the products and still make out.

Howdy!
	Well my problem is simple. I need to locate a VEGA driver for windows

drivers on it came with some Windows 2.x driver set. I can "get" it to 
almost work with the exception of two things:
	Setup doesn't like the driver
	Windows gets a sync problem. I can barely read the screen but the
program runs. 

Did Video7 ever come out with a VEGA driver for Win. 3.0? Is there a way to
"create" your own driver?

	PLEASE E-mail any replys so that I may figure this one out. And I mean
any help you can give.

Thanks for taking the time to read...

Funny, I have exactly the same problem in MS-DOS 5.0 or DR-DOS 6.0,
but it disappears when I run Windows 3.0 (or, lately, 3.1)!
This puzzles me no end.  I have an AMD 386DX-25 with AMI BIOS.

I don't know if these two problems are in any way related, but the 
coincidence in symptoms is interesting.

Hi there,

I'm a new owner of a Diamond Stealth S3 graphic card which I'll use for
Windows 3.1. I want to use this card in 1024x768 resolution with small
fonts, but there only drivers included which are using larger fonts
in this resolution. With "small fonts" I mean just the same fonts
for menus etc. as in normal VGA mode. For Tseng 4000 cards I have drivers
where I can choose between small and large fonts in high resolutions; I simply
need the same for the Stealth card.

So, do I need new drivers, or are there any setup tricks for getting small
fonts in 1024x768 mode?

I have a bit more information now, but still no solution.  My machine
also has an AMI BIOS.  Also, the problem seems to be minimized by
reducing the cursor repeat rate through the Windows Control Panel, but I
haven't gotten it to go away completely.  If I run DOS alone with
nothing in autoexec.bat and only files=35, buffers=20 in config.sys, the
problem doesn't appear, unless I accelerate the cursor repeat rate.  The
advanced CMOS setup allows setting the "typematic" rate as high as 30,
and the machine seems okay still, but when I set the cursor rate to 30
in win.ini, the problem is there.  Under naked DOS, WordPerfect 5.1 does
fine when cursor repeat rate is set to 50, but not under a Windows pif.
My delaer says theat he's 95% certain I have a DataPro motherboard (he
hasn't looked inside recently).
