Hi.  From my experience it's the screen scrolls that are the major tie-up,
whether in a communications program or when you're in an editor and press
the down-arrow key at the bottom of the window.  In cases when the whole
screen gets redrawn without any scrolling (such as pressing PgUp or PgDown
in an editor), it's a lot faster.  You could try switching to a 16-color driver
(that's what I did, though at 1024x768).  It would be nice if applications
would give the option whether to use the Windows API scroll calls or redraw
the screen when a scroll needs to be done, because on some video-coprocessor
boards a hardware-assisted scroll would be faster than an application re-drawing
the screen itself.

Just a thought: you're using a LaserWriter II NT for your output
specification:

 - How are you reaching the IINT?  Direct serial?  (damifino if this
   is significant, but I've only used this printer via a network)

 - Are you sure that your printer and screen drivers are at Windows 3.1
   level?  Both drivers participate in the font selection process.

 - Related to the above item: did you install Windows 3.1 into a directory
   containing Windows 3.0?  Microsoft originally recommended this, but I'm
   told that they've changed to recommending that 3.1 be installed into
   its own, new directory because so many people were reporting problems
   caused by the presence of downlevel drivers.  The files installed by
   Windows 3.1 setup generally carry a date of 3/10/92 and a time stamp
   of 3:10.  Check all of the files called out by SYSTEM.INI.

   Try re-installing Windows into a clean directory and see if the 
   problem disappears.

 - What version of the PostScript driver are you using?  The current
   version (at least it's what I'm using) of PSCRIPT.DRV is 3.51, dated
   3/30/92.  The Windows package comes with 3.50 dated 3/10/92.  I don't
   have a list of what changed between 3.50 and 3.51.

In a nutshell, you can't.  Windows does its own thing when it comes to memory
use/allocation.  You can, however, mess with DOS and DOS sessions under
Windows.  Actually, you can sorta mess with Windows' RAM...you can use lots of
it up in a disk cache, or you can create a permanent swapfile.

Now, here I see a problem.  I believe you need EMM386 to come before the DOS=
command if you're gonna use UMB.  Also, I found that the UMB command only
works if EMM386 is used with the /NOEMS switch.  An EXTREMELY useful program
for tweaking memory usage in DOS sessions is MSD, which ironically comes with
Windows, not DOS.

Furthermore, unless you are running DOS applications under Windows, you likely
wouldn't even need to stick DOS high.  I think that Windows can access any
section of RAM, even in that "Twilight Zone" between 640K and 1024K.  Nor,
therefore, would you need access to the UMB.  You could save yourself a bit
of RAM (a couple of bytes) this way.

Hope this helps.

But I first set the com2 port to 19200 thru the control panel and

So what does it take to get the com2 port up to speed with my modem?

Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1992 17:18:13 GMT


I just added 4 more MB to my computer. I was expecting to see less
disk activities from Windows 3.1 but I did not. So I wrote the following
test program.

HANDLE MemHandle;
long MemSize = 4000000;
long i;
long huge * MemPtr;
MemPtr = GlobalLock(MemHandle = GlobalAlloc(GMEM_MOVEABLE, MemSize));
for (i = 0; i < MemSize/4; i++) MemPtr[i] = i;
for (i = 0; i < MemSize/4; i++) 
  if (i != MemPtr[i])
  {
    ...  Some Error
  }


I ran this program from Run command of Program Manager in a freshly booted
machine. If I have 8MB of memory I should not see any disk activity after
the initial load. Right? I see disk activities twice. One for each loop,
I assume. Is that the way it supposed to work? Am I assuming something
wrong? Do I have to run any kind of setup? Have I wasted my $160?

Please help.

MSD shows 8MB of memory.

You don't need to, but you might want to.

Go ahead and turn it on, and if your machine does not crash, then leave

mouse.com in your autoexec.bat file or mouse.sys in your config.sys

I've got a Trident card with 512K, but my problem is that

after the computer has been on for a while (10-20 minutes)

the monitor cannon seems to fire random colored pixels.

I don't know if it is the monitor or the card, but under windows

the problem is much more severe.

I've tried several resolutions, but the 1024x780 large font 16

color gives the best quality.

It is still very annoying.

anybody got any suggestions?

thanks in anvance.

Hi folks,

just recently I got a new 486/33 machine with a 400 Meg SCSI drive and an
Adaptec AHA1542B SCSI host adapter.

I faintly remember that this configuration needs an entry in SYSTEM.INI,
something like VirtualHDIrq=OFF or so. The SYSINI.WRI file lists the
parameter, but not what it is for.

Sorry if this is a FAQ; I couldn't find it anywhere. Could someone please
explain whether this parameter is necessary, and if so, what it is for?
Also, are there any other things I should know when running this configuration
with WIN in enhanced mode?

I don't think you can do this with Winword. Can this be done with other

Until we get "styles applied to characters" it will be very difficult

It's my understanding that PComm+/Win supplies its own drivers for
the comm ports and does not use the ones supplied by MS. I'm sure that
I will be corrected if I'm wrong.

    Warning:  this is at the level of rumor...

    I have been told that the mouse only works when the dos window is full
    screen.  This matches my personal observations of having my mouse work
    for me when I make the dos window full screen but it does not work when
    I have it be a small window.

Try disabling the swap file (aka Virtual Memory).  I have a 486/33 w/8MB RAM
and it runs Windows much faster without the swapfile.  This is especially true 
for Word for Windows 2.0a.


Good luck!
