>I'd appreciate if you can email or post you positive >or negative experience with this monitor, especially >compared to to Nanao 550i. >I'd summarize if I got multiple responses.  I bought a Viewsonic 17 for use at home but after a week I took it back.  I  felt for the money my NEC 5FG that I use at work was a much better monitor. The NEC is sharper, flatter, less distorted, and more stable.  I have heard  complaints from people about the NEC FG series having some quality control  problems but mine has been in use for about a year with no problems at all.  There was nothing really broken with the Viewsonic but overall it did not  match up.  I used my ATI Graphics Ultra in setup mode to push the  frequencies to their limits and the Viewsonic exhibited some problems that  the NEC did not.  I personally like the non-etched NEC with the OCLI filter  and the tube on the 17 was not as nice.  The 17 had some uncorrectable  pincusion and edge distortion problems.  Also, it would change brightness  when I switched modes and I was constantly having to fiddle with the  controls.  And the yoke was crooked and I had no way to compensate for the  raster that tilted downhill.  On the postive side, although not as handsome  as the NEC, the 17 had a smaller footprint and was not as heavy.  I have heard that Panasonic owns Viewsonic and the model 17 is being sold  through OEM channels with a Panasonic label on it.  If it's available that  way at a lower cost I could get more serious about it.  For now the NEC has  my vote but I'm searching for one of the new, cheaper, NEC 5FGe's to see if  it's just as good as its older brother the 5FG before I decide which one to  buy.  I have no experience with the Nanao.  I can never keep the Nanao models  straight and don't have any place I can walk in to get a good comparison of  all models.  --   Standard employer disclaimers apply

Recently the following problem has arrisen.  The first time I turn on my   computer when windows starts (from my autoexec) after the win31 title screen   the computer reboots on its own.  Usually the second time (after reboot) or   from the DOS prompt everything works fine.   s far as I remember I have not changed my config.sys or autoxec.bat or   win.ini.  I can't remember whether this problem occured before I   optimized/defragmented my disk and created a larger swap file (Thank you   MathCAD 4 :(  )  System 386sx, 4MB, stacker 2.0, win31, DOS 5  --- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Carlos G.

Try using Laser printer/copier paper, it works quite well and is cheaper than HPspecial paper.

It only happens using the 1024x768x256 driver.  Sometimes it takes a minute or so for the cursor to wig out, but it eventually does in this mode.  I susect something is stepping on memory the video card wants.  I excluded a000-c7ff in the EMM386 line and in system.ini  The problem persisted. Perhaps it is something specific to the Gateway machine or it's components. It is a 66mhz DX/2 Eisa bus with an Ultrastore (24xx?) controller.  Ah well, I was hoping this was some kind of 'known problem' or somebody had seen it before.  Perhaps a call to Gateway is in order, but I do find folks here usually are far more in the know.

It definitely will  help speed things up. A 2 megs smartdrv is also a good idea with  the amount of memory you have, and use fastdisk (32bit access) if  you not already. Hope that help..

I have the following problem on a Dell 450SE with the ATI Graphics Ultra Pro  EISA:  When I start Windows, the first 5 times I try to run an application, it does not start. Windows will show the following error message:     Error Executing application. There is not enough memory to run the        application.  After the first 5 tries, the application I want to run will start, and  afterwards there are no more problems. When I change the Video driver from  Mach 32 to 8514/a, this problem does not occur, so I suspect the ATI  drivers (I tried both the build 55 and build 59 driver).  Does anyone have a clue?

Microsoft can't be  >everything to everyone! period!  It has been done, but the other companies don't have the marketing budgets that MS do.  4DOS, for instance, is everything that COMMAND.COM should have been (but never could be under MS).  Those who use it usually find it more addictive than crack cocaine.  But they have to rely on word of mouth for sales.  It seems to have worked pretty good so far, but your corporate weenie manager type usually likes to see a big glossy ad in PC Magazine.  That's okay, marketing isn't a fundamental human right, but they've got a product that's superior to the DOS command interpreter in every way.  They have a lot more to be proud of than MS does.  If MS really gave a damn, they could duplicate it, buy it outright (they've got the money), or even use the old ruse of sending engineers out to help them with compatability issues and absconding with the technology.  DOS is a mediocre product at a cheap price backed up by top notch marketing and vendor agreements.  The "mediocre" was excusable in the early days when it was someone else's hack, but they've had ten years to play with it.  An interesting thought on that: Most MS products that I'm aware of in the last few years allow you to access the names of the designers and programmers through easter egg screens, including Windows, or at least have the names buried in the files.  Is there such a thing in DOS 5.0 and 6.0, or are they too ashamed to have their names on it?
Hi,         I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not Logitech had Windows TWAIN drivers for the Scanman. If so, are the drivers on the net somewhere? My Scanman is the model one down from the Scanman 256.          Thanks in advance.                                  Ross Barclay
Mornin' all.  I was wonderin'..... I got screenpeace (the screensaver, which I think is *very* good), and I got a problem with it... There is an option there, "realize colour table", and if it's switched on, some wallpapers' colours will get *ucked up with some screensavers (e.g. the "flashlight" one).  If I turn it off, however, it works well, and it's faster, so I have it off.  All's nice and well.  However, If I turn it off, then it will be on again next time I start windows.  All the setting are set in the win.ini file, and I *do* have "save settings on exit" selected.  also, I tried manually changing the setting in the win.ini file to "n" (for no-->realize colour table), and started windows.  It will be fine for that session, but the next session will *again* turn the option on.  I tried adding a +R (read-only) attribute to my win.ini file, and it worked, but my bitmap (wallpaper) saver didn't work then. Actually, it's the same application.  Anywya, it didn't work, since it must change the setting at the win.ini file.  so anyone out there got any answers/suggesions/comments for me?  thanks, i.a.  Mickey aka mp
Hello fellow 'netters.  I am asking for your collected wisdom to help me decide which printer I should purchase, the Canon BJ200 (BubbleJet) vs. the HP DeskJet 500.  I thought, rather than trust the salesperson, I would benefit more from relying on those who use these printers daily and use them to their fullest potential.  And, I figure all of you will know their benefits and pitfalls better than any salesperson.  Now, I would greatly appreciate any information you could render on the 360 dpi of the Canon BubbleJet vs. the Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 500 (300 dpi). Which is faster?  Is there a noticeable print quality difference, particularly in graphics?  Which will handle large documents better (75 pages or more) -- any personal experience on either will be appreciated here?  Which works better under Windows 3.1 (any driver problems, etc)? Cost of memory, font packages, toner cartridges, etc?  Basically, your personal experiences with either of these machines is highly desirable, both good and bad.  Advance kudos and thanks for all your input.  E-mail or news posting is readily acceptable, but e-mail is encouraged (limits bandwidth).  -- Sincerely,  Robert Kayman	----	kayman@cs.stanford.edu  -or-  cpa@cs.stanford.edu
[ Article crossposted from comp.os.ms-windows.apps ] [ Author was Dr. Richard Timmer ] [ Posted on 24 Apr 93 23:11:16 GMT ]   Hello WinNetters:  I have seen a great deal of discussion herein on the relative merits of  MS Access and Borland Paradox/Win.  However, are there any users out there  with experience with the database package called "Approach".  It has gotten a number of very good reviews from the various mags. and it seems like it would require less hardware overhead than Paradox.  I have ruled out Access because some aspects of it are extremely non-intuitive, e.g. requiring a field to always have a value.  I like what I've seen of Paradox, but it seems like the resource requirements are greater than what I have (386/25 MHz, 6 MB ram).  So, please provide me with your thoughts are "Approach", good and bad.  Thanks.

I have a 486/33 VLB machine, with a Wang 96/24 fax/modem. When using the windows terminal application, the only way I can get it to 'see' the modem is to change it to COM2, then go back and change it to COM4.  Then it works fine. (I have it set to COM4 as the port to use)  I don't have anything plugged into COM2, and I've looked over the manual for all it's worth, but what am I missing?  The modem is  jumpered for COM4/IRQ3, which I understand means I can't use the second serial port and the modem at the same time, but I'm not using the second serial port anyway. Also, when using Procomm + for DOS, it always sees the modem and dials, but doesn't always connect me when the other end answers.  Don't know if that helps any.  Thanks,

But for me it is true.  Windows crashed on all of the time (and from what I have read in PC Mag, this is not the exception) .  OS/2 gives each windows app a VDM and they can't touch each other or (generally) anything they aren't supposed to have.  If windows works for you, then great.  Maybe this is why some people don't see why OS/2 is the OS of  choice.  If windows doesn't crash on you, and you don't mind waiting on each task, and not being able to adress your memory better than DOS, some of the key reasons for using OS/2 are gone.  I probably  would still use it, but it would be more of an even fight. Brett
I have just noticed my FileManager doing something strange recently. Usually, the line at the bottom of the FileManager (the status bar, I guess) displays the total disk space and the total number of bytes for the current selection.  If I select a whole bunch of files, I will get an exact byte count.  Recently, I notice it incorrectly displays this count; it's truncating! If I select a file that is, say, 532 bytes, it correctly displays '532 bytes'. If I select select a file that is 23,482 bytes, it displays '23 bytes',  not 23 Kbytes, just 23 bytes!  If I select 893,352 it will report only 893 bytes in the selection.  If I select over a Meg worth of files, say 3,356,345 it reports 3 bytes!  It's as if it's got a problem with displaying more than 3 characters!  My system: 486DX/33, 8M memory, Stacker 3.0, DOS 5, Win 3.1.  I've run the latest virus scanners (scan102, f-prot) and they didn't report anything. Could I have unknowingly altered something that controls the formatting of the status bar in the FileManger? -----------------------------------------------------------------------------      _/      _/  _/   _/_/_/  _/  _/    Nicholas Masika, masika@bnr.ca     _/_/    _/  _/  _/       _/ _/      Bell-Northern Research, Ottawa    _/  _/  _/  _/  _/       _/_/        (613) 765-4893 / fax:765-4309   _/    _/_/  _/  _/       _/ _/          _/      _/  _/   _/_/_/  _/   _/       OPC Development Operations

Running on Gateway 2000 DX2/50. >Thx Dave L  I have used both version 1.17 drivers for Win 3.1 and the new 2.03 drivers. I have had none of these problems.  No GPF's at all.  I have a feeling that your problems are not with the card or drivers.  The ATI Ultra drivers are considered some of the most reliable on the market, and the SS 24X ones  seem quite good as well.  Maybe you should check BIOS problems in your Gateway.  I know a few people with Gateway DX2's, and all of them have found some problem or other with compatibility -- especially with graphics.  The only GPF's I have ever had can be directly attributable to using/ abusing applications.  I even got the newest drivers from Diamond when  people started complaining.  I still only have one small problem with them, and it is that the hardware cursor is slightly jumpy during writes/ reads to the swap file.

I have a 486 sx 25 and I recently added a SCSI drive to my system using an   Adaptec 1522 (non busmastering) controller. Yesterday I ran coretest to   find out drive performance and these are the values I got  Seagate 106 Meg: 875.1kb/Sec	14.5ms avg seek   3.7ms track to track  Quantum 400 Meg SCSI: 991.2 Kb/sec  12.7 avg seek 3.6 track to track.  First off all are these good results? I don't know what typical values   are.  What I'm wondering now is the following. My swap file is currently on the   IDE. I could move it to the SCSI which is 13% faster, but then I would not   be able to use 32-bit access which might actuall make it slower. So on   which drive should I put my swap file to get best results? Is there a swap   file speed test program out there?  Finally, I also ran the above tests with the ASPI2DOS driver loaded and I   got no difference whatsoever in performance. Is there any reason at all   why I should load this driver?  Thanks in advance, I will post a summary if I get enough responses.

I assume you're using the driver available from cica (hp4-v108.zip). Bring up the setup screen of the printer through control panel. Click on the "Options" button brings up another screen of choices. Change the "Graphics Mode" from "HP-GL/2" to "Raster" and check the box "Print Truetype as graphics (this is only available when you choose "Raster"). Now you should be able to print all your truetype fonts correctly. Good luck.
