Have you tried diddling with the switch settings on the card?  Switches 3 and
4 in particular may have some relevance to your problem.  Try disabling the
'alternate timing' and the 'turbo bios' by setting switches 3 and 4 to OFF.
Also, be sure that you're running the latest drivers for the Stealth.  The
file STL110.EXE, available via ftp, contains the latest drivers for the
Stealth.  If you can't locate them, let me know and I'll see if I can help.

You may also want to try running without QEMM.  If your problem still occurs,
you can assume that there's not a conflict with QEMM.  If not, QEMM's tech
support has a good paper on eliminating such conflicts which they can fax you.

Lastly, you may want to try Diamond's tech support.  They're damned hard to
get in touch with, and in the end, they don't really seem to care.  I wrote
them a very polite letter a couple of months back praising what I thought were
the good points of their product but also criticizing what I thought was
lacking in driver support and dissemination of their sporadic bug fixes.  I
offered to post their response to my letter in this forum.  I got no response.

At any rate, let me know what happens.  Hope this helps!

Greetings,

I have been trying to call Microsoft (1-800-426-9400) for the last
three days -- always busy (I need a faulty disk replaced).  Is this not the
current customer service number?  By the way, I've been driving a car for
almost 30 years -- don't recall ever having to call GM, Ford, Chrysler etc.
Oh well.

I am looking for two pieces of PC software:

    - An inventory tracking system. It should be network compatible.

    - A loan tracking system. It does not need to be network compatible.
      Note that this is not an amortization schedule program, but
      software which will store demographic info on persons who have
      been loaned money, plus when payments are due, when paid, late
      fees, etc.

I would appreciate any leads you have on these two items. Thanks.

I just received MS's "Focus On..." flyer. A feature article on Access claims
you can add sounds, bitmaps, charts, and full-motion video to a db. Memos?
You won't need no steenkin' memos. Sorry, Michael, no mention of size.

Also supposed to have Graphical Query By Example (GQBE -- oh boy!), and can
imp/export data from dBASE, Paradox, Btrieve, and MS SQL. Plus a programming 
language like Word Basic called, you guessed it, Access Basic. "Wizards"
like in Publisher (cute macros), Cue Cards (on-line tutorial), and more.

The flyer says special prices (until 31 Jan 93) are $99 (US) and $129 (CA).
Available 25 Nov. If anyone needs a phone number, post me.

BTW -- I don't have anything to do w/MS -- just a satisfied customer.

>From the SYSINI.WRI file included with Win 3.1:

for the [NonWindowsApp] section of your SYSTEM.INI file

FontChangeEnable=<Boolean>

Default:  1 on systems that use Windows version 3.1 grabbers.
          0 on systems that use Windows version 3.0 grabbers.

Purpose:
          Provides the ability to change fonts when running a non-
Windows application in a window on a system that uses version
3.0 of the grabbers (usually 3.0 display drivers). Windows
version 3.1 video grabbers (used in 3.1 display drivers) include
built-in support for changing fonts when running a non-
Windows application in a window. If you are using a 3.0 grabber
that has not been updated to include the ability to change fonts
and you want to use this feature, enable this setting. However,
with this setting enabled, your screen may lose characters and
the cursor may change size and position slightly.


If you've got and have installed the correct/updated video drivers, then
this should work...

Good luck!

My vote so far is for Chameleon! Although it is an NDIS only stack
we have run it over ODI and conversly we have run IPX over NDIS.

Sorry to post again.  If you're interested in learning more about this
particular scam you can call Make a Wish at 1-800-722-9474 and ask to hear
the recording they will play you.  Craig was operated on almost two years
ago and his prognosis is that he will live a long life.  He got into the
Guiness Book of World Records for receiving the most number of greeting
cards in 1990, but Guiness has since eliminated this category, as well as
any category similar, such as for receiving the most business cards.

There actually is a Craig, but the rest of the request is a scam.

a free seminar, but you needed to have received an invitation to

(They also demoed Access for Windows (user-friendly windows database
slated to be release date next week) and a beta version of FoxPro
for Windows.)

     The number given in the invitation to reserve a place was
listed as (800) 942-2643, but when you call you need a "reservation

I have read somewhere that the limit, made by Microsoft, can be extended
by pressing the record buttun again just before the time is out. I havn't
tried it myself. 
Anyway i really would like to use a better program. Unfurturnately i did
not find a better version in Windows-NT eighter. Please tell me the best

        This may not be the right place to post this, but here goes anyway.
I'm kinda new to this bitnet/internet/listserv stuff and I was wondering if
anyone knew of any sites with documentation or things of that nature that might
give me a little more insite on what kinds of magical things can be done.  If
there's enough info out there (and I'm sure there is) I might even consider
compiling all of the info and using it as my networking project.

                                        Thanks,

                                    -->>Marcus<<--

To "untar" a file in u*ix, type:

tar -xvf filename.tar

It will often create its own directory and expand. Note: you need to type
the .tar extension.
