Hi,   I have a simple question. Is it possible to create a OVERLAPPED THICKFRAME window without a title bar; ie  	(WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_THICKFRAME) & ~WS_CAPTION    I don't seem to be able to get rid off the title bar.  I have another question:  I have a overlapped window(say V) which has few child windows (a,b,c, etc) The window shows up with all it's children fine. Now, I create another  child(t) with a WS_THICKFRAME style and placed on top of one or more of it's siblings. Style WS_THICKFRAME is used so that I can resize it. How do I make sure that the child 't' will always be at the top of it's siblings. I used SetWindowPos() and BringWindowToTop() without success. What's happening is that while I am resizing 't' it shows up but as soon as I let go, it goes behild it's siblings.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Manu

I quit windows normally to run a special DOS app, got done with it and tried to start windows.  Ok got the title screen, Windows background, DOS with an error about loading PROGMAN.EXE.  Hum, yep PROGMAN.EXE is still there.  Must be bad, ok pull off PROGMAN.EXE from a backup tape, start windows, get the windows title screen, windows background, DOS with the same error.  HUM!  Fire up the good ol' Norton Disk Doctor, test, 500 lost clusters!  Ok, fix them, and look through them, doesn't look important.  Remove the Windows directory, and reinstall from disks.  Fire up windows, title screen, background, Program Manager, Success!    I have a 486/50 (Amy) with 4 meg of RAM, 120 meg HD, SVGA, running under DOS 5.0, no special memory managers or stuff, just the basic Windows 3.1 A 12 meg permanent swap file using 32-bit Access.  I mainly use Windows to run more that one DOS app at a time.  (ie downloading with Qmodem with a DOS window open, and possibly POV running in the background.)    I've noticed that since I started using Windows a few months ago, lost clusters have gotten more and more common.  Although I don't like having data just disappear, it really haven't been a problem except for today.  Has anyone else had any problems with lost clusters while running windows?  And what could I do to fix the problem, I'd sleep better knowing Amy wasn't loosing her marbles. :)  Steven
Does anyone know how to configure a DOS app in Progman so that only one instance of it can be running at a time?  I'd really appreciate some help on how to do this.  I would prefer responses through email if it's not a big  deal, or at least through email _as well as_ posting.  Thank you!  -- James E. Lee   jelee@hamlet.ucdavis.edu

Since swapping out my generic VGA card for a Diamod Speedstar 24X, I have  noticed two new problems:  * if I create a windowed MS-DOS session (386 mode), when the text starts     to scroll, rather than printing characters it starts to print    horizontal lines that spill out to the desktop and trash the entire     display.  Ctrl-alt-del terminates the dos window and restores the     desktop  * after a short time in NCD's PC X-remote for windows, all characters     displayed on the desktop are changed to be unreadable; I am unable to   restore without rebooting.  These are in both 256 and 16 color 800x600 drivers, large and small fonts. DOS 5, Win 3.1, emm386 and smartdrv installed.  I like the speed of the card and have had no other problems.  Any ideas? Thanks!

The EMX system for OS/2 gives you most of the standard UNIX system calls for recompiling your UNIX programs under OS/2.  Not quite the same thing as actually running UNIX programs directly in either case, but EMX makes OS/2 almost as compatible with UNIX systems as many UNIX systems are with each other.  And, best of all, EMX is free.  :-)  There is a similar system (GO32) for DOS, but it doesn't work with Windows, as far as I know.  >7. price          $120          $70         $120     free-$1000s >                                                     A good one >                                                     costs $400-$700  >                                                     avaliable on Ext. >                                                     card too.  Should add in the cost for DOS with both Geos and Windows, neither of which is a standalone OS at this point.  Neither OS/2 nor UNIX requires DOS.  BTW, two of the best unices I've seen for the pee cee are UNIXWare ($300 for the personal edition) and LINUX (free).  So I don't agree that "a good one costs $400-$700."  :-)  And, if you really want to check out the various options available to you, you should also look into DESQview and DESQview/X.  cheers

RTF files are generated by a wordprocessor like Word for Dos or W4W.  If this is not the solution be more specific about your application.  Mario

I have an 8514/A card, and I am using windows in 1024x768 mode  	(normal 8514/A font, not small).  In the 386 enhanced mode 	the DOS window font is too small for my 14" monitor. Is there a  	way to spacify the font size for the DOS window? You'll have to  	excuse me if there is a trivial answer, since I am fairly new to 	MS Windows world.  	Thanks.
Hi everybody out there, I just got the third beta release disk (march 93) of WindowsNT and still am not able to boot up that system. The final step achieved is the display of IO-error 0x0069. But, since this is the beta release of the SDK for NT and not of NT, Microsoft does not include a manual on the OS itself, explaining what this error means of what I can do to get rid of. My configuration is:  Mainboard     Hauppauge 4860-25, rev. A7 (a 486 with socket for i860)               28megs of memory (512k*36,1M*36,2M*36) AMI EISA SCSI controller (15series), latest bios, 16MB cache                ST41200N hard disk               Syquest 555 removable disk               Toshiba 3301 CD ROM drive ProAudio Spectrum Plus 16 Longshine Ethernet card LCS8634 (NE2000 comp.) ET4000 graphics card, 1Meg (ColorImage5) The system is running fine under DOS and Windows 3.1 etc, but trying to do the setup for NT, - automatic setup does not recognize controller (AHA1542-compat.)   when adding manually, NT complains not finging any CD-ROM drive - the manual setup (WINNT) does not copy everything from CD to HD,   does not recognize controller, but takes it manually.   Setup continues until it tries to boot. Then it starts loading   several stuff from disk (seems to fing the HD), but messing up   with that damned IO-Error 69. I took away all IO cards not essential, but that did not make any effect. Anybody got any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated.

My advice, based on plenty of personal experience, is to never buy the first version of anything from Microsoft.  This includes major version number upgrades from previous releases, such as Microsoft C 6.00. Always wait at least for the "a" upgrade or slipstream upgrade if you're going to buy it.
In Windows I created a permanent Swap-file of 7771Kb as win3.1 recommended me to do that (32bit access). If I use EMM386.EXE, after win3.1 startup I have 6689K of memory free, if I leave EMM386.EXE out of my config.sys I have 9935K of memory free, and windows recommends me a swap file of 11769K.  I use DOS6, with memmaker, have 4MB of internal Memory and a 486DX,  Does anybody knows why this is happening (possibly win needs some UMB's to manage virtual memory?, If true, which UMB's, those that EMM386 can find without including suspicious parts?)  I need an optimized DOS-environment, because i develop applications for DOS using a windows programming environment.
I am getting Garbled output when serial printing thru Windows & works etc.  This has occurred on several systems and goes if a LaserJet 4 is used.  I suspect that there is no need for handshaking in this case due to the capacity (memory/speed) of it.  There is no problem printing from DOS.  Are there any obvious tweaks I'm missing.  I'm sure its not JUST me with this problem.  Thanks for reading....  John Atherton
Well, renaming screensavers (.scr) to .exe, and running them, as has been pposted, (I haven't tried changing win.ini , but should have same effect) shows me the "setup" dialog. box, butdoesn't enable the saver.
I'm using an OAK based VGA card on my computer (640x480x256).  I've downloaded the driver from ftp.cica.indiana.edu and I've had good luck with it.  However, does anyone know if a faster driver is available for this card?  Thanks,  Mike
I know that I've seen this question asked before, but I don't remember seeing any answers..So here it is again:       Does any one know of an ftp site where the WD90C31 driver might reside? I've checked cica, and I'm sure it's not there (I'm refering to the new version of the driver that came out in 2(?)/93).  I have seen it on c-serve, but I hesitate to d/l 1 meg. at 2400 bps unless I really have to!      Alternativly, is it possible to get Paradise (or WD) to mail me the new drivers, or don't they do that.       Finally, is it even worth the hassle of getting these things, or is there not much improvement over my 10/92 version?

It is correct that VC++ is NOT considered an upgrade for C7. C7 is basically a DOS product, VC++ is a Windows product. As Windows is not an upgrade for DOS, it is a separate operating system product line, its utilities cannot be upgrades for DOS utilities.
