My guess is that it's the Trident card/driver, as this was true for me also,
before I upgraded from the Diamond Speedstar Plus which came with my Gateway
486/33C to the ATI Graphics Ultra which Gateway offered a month later. The 
speed increase was dramatic, and especially notable in scrolling text 
windows. Before it was excruciatingly slow, now it happens too fast if 
anything! <No, I'm NOT complaining! :) > It's certainly NOT WinQvtNet, as 
the PD version is identical to the registered version, except for extra font 
sizes which you get when you register. It DOES, however depend on the 
resolution and color depth you've chosen for your setup (640x480x16 will be
faster than 1024x768x256, for example).

John,
  The local agent at this end of the country found out the answer:

Ventura does not like converted TT fonts. At least the CICA ones, anyway.
Apparently, they don't include all the font information required. If you
remove the CICA TrueType fonts, it should work again. (I had the same
problem).

Laplink willl let you do the same thing that DiskShare does.  Part
of Laplink is a driver which allows you to access the other computers
disks and other devices fairly seamlessly.  The only problem is
that you have to connect the two machines via the serial port
which means that throughput is only ~1.5 Meg/sec as opposed to 
5 Meg/Sec when you hook up through the parellel port.

Hello, 

I'm looking for information on programming OLE applications for
Windows. More specific; I'm looking for the source code of a
sample OLE client application which is a bit less complicated
than the CLIDEMO sample of the SDK. I would like to know what the 
minimum is one should do to support a bit of OLE.

FYI: I'm writing a file viewer which should be able to view 
objects through using an OLE server (e.g. view a bitmap bycreating a link with PaintBrush).

I'm also looking for a simple sample program which explains how I
should create a metafile and copy it to the clipboard. So far, my
implementations (based on the Petzold book) haven't led to much
good. (Clipboard Viewer can display them, but Write can't).

I hope you can help me,

Well, I currently have 2.0, and I have been told (as a dealer) that the DOS 
version should be in about 4 weeks, with the Windows version about another 4 
after that.

The point being that the Windows version will take toe 2.0 / 2.5 DOS

My problem occurs mostly when editing an equation (my writeups have tons
of equations) using the built in Equation Editor.  The error I get reads:

			Application Error
	MSWORD cuased a General Protection Fault in
	module USER.EXE at 0001:8182

another message was:

			Application Error
	MSWORD caused a General Protection Fault in

Still another error was:

			Application Error
	EQNEDIT caused a General Protection Fault in
	module <unknown> 01D7:03D1 EQNEDIT will close

I recently had print manager shut down on me too.  Usually, Me screen will
go blank & I'll have to reboot.  Windows won't restart & I'll have to reload
Windows.  Last time though, I ran Norton Disk Doctor and it found a bad cluster
and fixed it... I restarted windows and ran Word and finished my writeup
with no more trouble.

Has anyone had similar trouble?e. (I should add that I'm running in 386 Enhanced

What should I do?

You can set the delay between retries etc. in Procomm/Win's dialling directory.
Open the dialling directory and pull down one of the menus; in there are 
Settings... or something like that.

You can change the 5 second delay between attempts, and the 45 seconds try

To inject a little bit of mind-over-machine perspective here, let me
point out that user is MASTER, not SLAVE to any machine. The good 'ol
on/off switch is always only a flick away....

Similarly, just 'cuz a machine has WINDOWS on it, there's no law that
says you have to run everything under windows. Just kick out of windows to the
old reliable C-Prompt, load laplink as a DOS app, and run it under DOS.
The machines will never know the difference.

I think I have found a bug in Word but I don't know exactly
what caused it.  I am posting this in case someone can replicate it.

Yesterday I wanted to print my class schedule on a page in my time
manager which uses 3 3/4 by 6 3/4 inch paper.  I did the following:

Set Page Size to Width 3.75, Length 6.75, format Landscape, all margins
to 1/2".

Made a little table using the Word Table feature. It was six columns by
eight rows.  I used New Times Roman (a TrueType font), pt. size 8.

Printed the thing, using my Panasonic PX-1180.

The table printed on the side as I expected, but the upper half
was missing, i.e. the entire table was shifted to the left on the
printed page:

          Page
       +--------------+
Table  |              |
    xxxxxxxx          |
    xxxxxxxx          |
    xxxxxxxx          |
    xxxxxxxx          |
    xxxxxxxx          |
    xxxxxxxx          |
       |              |
       +--------------+

After messing with the settings for too long, I finally hit upon
adding one line of ordinary text before the table started.  Originally,
the table was the first thing to appear in the document.  After I
added a line containing a string of characters before the table,
it printed out correctly placed on the page.  Now is this a bug in
Word or just my printer driver maybe?
