Can't guarantee that it'll work for everyone, but I finally fixed my mouse jumpiness problems: I installed a bus mouse. (Sorry, I didn't say the solution was free.) In the past I'd tried everything with my Microsoft serial mouse. (Cleaning it, unloading all kinds of TSRs, turning off SMARTDRV write cacheing, changing COM ports, ...) Nothing worked. Yesterday I finally broke down and bought a Mouse Systems Bus Mouse. The improvement is even better than I had imagined! So much so that my old mouse must have been jumpy all the time (I just thought it was jumpy sometimes), and I had gotten so used to it I didn't notice. My wife, who uses the computer about once a month, noticed the improvement literally within a second!  I can't say anything about other bus mice, but with the Mouse Systems one you'll have to give up either COM2 or LPT2 to an IRQ. Also, if you don't know, Mouse Systems mice have three buttons. The driver includes a utility that lets you assign keystrokes to the middle button.  Hope this helps someone else. If you're anywhere near as frustrated as I was, it's well worth the $80.  ---
Here is the latest on relocating your help files to a server.   The WinHelp() function, as I am told by MS, does search your path so  relocating MS windows helpfiles won't be a problem as long as you include the path to where you move them to, however, if an application has  hardcoded the path into their code so that when WinHelp is invoked it searches the given path (i.e. WinHelp(hwnd, c:\amipro) for example) then WinHelp does not search your path and instead looks only to that directory where you have installed your software.  I tested this out on a variety of software packages.  I moved all my  helpfiles to the drive z:\ and included this in the path statement. Here is the results for different software packages:   Norton Desktop			Found Helpfiles Windows V3.1 for WorkGroups	Found Helpfiles Windows V3.1			Found Helpfiles MS Powerpoint V3.0		Found Helpfiles MS Word				Found Helpfiles MS Excel V4.0a			Did Not Find Helpfiles (strange) MS Foxpro V2.5 for Windows	Found Helpfiles Lotus Amipro V3.0		Did Not Find Helpfiles Procomm Plus for Windows	Did Not Find Helpfiles   I guess this is better than nothing but it would make sense to be able to  specify a global path for helpfiles.    If anyone has any comments or If I can help anyone or if I left something out please let me know.  		lhighley@gozer.idbsu.edu  thanks for the help from everyone especially jagrant@emr1.emr.ca

No, once the name is incribed on the disk, that is it, it is encoded.  Not even a HEX editor will find it.  You can write over the "Licensed to:", but you can't change the name underneth it.  I think if you wish to change this you would have to be a pirate, and we're not going to promote that here.    ------------------------------------------------------------------------   | Robert S.

Hello  I have a question about the demo files for amipro v3 uploaded in cica. I downloaded it and tryied to install it.  However, it didn't work.   In addition, it altered or eliminated my NWRES2.dll file so that I had to reinstall my Norton Desktop again.  Is there anything I have to know to install it or do I eventually have  to ask Lotus to send a working model to me (I heard that they have it)? I just want to see its look and feel before buying it.  Any pointer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

It is the same price as the stealth card. Plus it is also based on S3 928 chip the newest and fastest chip from s3.  Everyone, if you are looking for a card, SEE THE APRIL ISSUE OF PC MAGAZINE FOR THEIR REVIEW.   They noted this person's problem with dos. The stealth card is not a very good dos performer. The Actix card is rated the best in this chip class (non local bus). It got glowing reports from the magazine (was a best buy) and I called them directly and they just updated their windows drivers last week! They have a bulletin board to get the latest drivers.  Though somone posted that this bbs was at 2400.   AT any rate, the Actix graphics engine ultra outperforms all the other cards in the 928 class (based on the winmark results).  If you are looking for the all around best dos/windows performance  check out the actix card. Their 1-800 number is 927-5557.  P.S. The article in pc magazine noted that if you are a regular dos user (ie: games) then you should also check out the 801 chip from s3. It apparently scores just as well and in many cases slightly better in dos than the 928 chip (ie: stealth and actix cards.) They have "comparable" windows performance and are cheaper to buy.

Call Dell tech support (or better, post to them on CSERVE if you have an account) and get the memory range(s) used by video RAM on your machine. The block windows from using those ranges with an EMMEXCLUDE= statement in the 386Enh section of SYSTEM.INI. You probably should include a statement excluding the same range from EMM386 or whatever memory manager you use in CONFIG.SYS.
Howdy  We have been having a real problem with an AST 386sx/16 machine with 4mb of RAM.  We installed Paradox for Windows, (but I don't think  Paradox is the real problem here), and the installation went ok (windows is installed on a local drive, paradox installed on a novell network (netware 386 v3.26 or greater), DOS 5, Win 3.1) but the program will not load in 386 enchanted mode.  The thermometer bar goes to 60% and we then either get a 'invalid command.com' or a windows nastygram talking about an illegal instruction.  I've checked out the command.com thing, but as a long-time C programmer, I've crashed my share of machines with pointer problems and this is a standard behavior :-)  Anyway, paradox will run in standard mode, but not enhanced.  We also have quattro pro windows, exhibiting the same behavior.  Spent about 2 hours with Borland's tech people, with no avail.  The guy I talked to a microsoft didn't want to really dig in and help, as he gave up pretty quickly. Somewhat disappointing, really.  I expected more from Microsoft.  You'd think with all the millions of windows installations that they would have seen all the possible problems, but I guess not...  Microsoft had sent us a 13 page fax on fixing UAE and General Protection faults (sorry, I can't fax anything out of here so please don't ask, try Microsoft), which we tried.  We did *everything* they said, and still no luck.  So.  If you can help, please mail me.  This problem is driving us nuts. I will greatly appreciate any information anyone can pass on.

There has been a long running discussion over changing the Startup logo for Windows for a few weeks here. While all the COPY methods are great & haven't seen any mention of a program that will do it for you.....   Well... I found one on CICA called winlogo (Can't remember where unfortuantely), and it seems to work real well... even comes with a couple example .RLE files.   What I'd really like though is a way to create .RLE files myself, specifically the RLE4 format mentioned in the winlogo readme file. Can anyone point me in the direction of such a beast with a REAL directory path ?? All the ones I've seen mentioned didn't pan out.....

It is true that TrueType fonts are larger than their ATM counterparts, but ATM fonts *do* get minimal compression. Running Stacker 3.0 report generator, I get:  	 File Type:      Compression Ratio: 	 -------------   ------------------ 	 *.TTF (TrueType)     1.4:1.0 	 *.PFB (ATM)          1.1:1.0 	 *.PFM (ATM Metric)  11.8:1.0  Although the metric files are small, they compress quite largely. And, as you can see, even the regular .PFB files have *some* compression.  So, doing the math on one such comparitive font file:  TTF Times = 83260 bytes/1.4 = 59471 bytes (compressed) PFB Times = 51549 bytes/1.1 = 46862 bytes (Compressed)  You still win out, even if the ATM Times font *isn't* compressed.  Your mileage may vary depending on compression program.

I friend of mine installed dos6 at work and is hooked up to a Novell network, running Netware 386 v.3.11.  The problem he's having is that the doublespace program is using drive 'h' as the swap drive, which is confliting with the networks mapped drives.  Is there switch to place the swap drive to someother drive? Please e-mail....thanks a bunch!!

I just got a copy of Tobias' Managing Your Money v9.0.  I have Quicken 6, and it's wonderful for some things, but MYM seems to have some features that Q6 doesn't.  For example, Q6 doesn't seem to be able to handle monthly automatic deductions from a checking account (you know, a monthly payment that gets electronically deducted every month from my checking account).  Or is there something that I'm not doing right, and Q6 can actually do that?  Anyway, MYM seems to be able to handle monthly deductions.  In fact, it can apparently do better than that. That is, you can specify monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, even yearly. Anyway, is anyone aware of a comparitive study of the two programs? Or can someone just give me their own personal impressions?  Maybe someone who has used both.  Or maybe someone who is familiar with each could give me a capsule review?  Anything would be greatly appreciated.  If I keep MYM, I have to pay for it, and I don't know whether it's worth doing.  If MYM is better than Q6, of course I will keep it.  But if Q6 can do everything MYM can do (maybe even better), I won't.  Thanks all!
Hello.       I purchased a video card called ET-4000 true color card which      can provide about 1700K colors. But the question is I can't find      the corresponding drivers for windows 3.1 , I am now using 65k      colors driver for win31. It works fine , but I think it will be      better if I use 1700k driver. So, please tell me whether such a      driver is available !       Thanks in advance.
Ok, I just got a new 486/66 16 Mb, with a ATI Ultra pro and I can't get into windows. It says that I need more memory available, but I have 15mb ogf extended mem & 512k of conventionnal. I have disabled my memory aperture because it didn't find any "FREE" memory, but it still gave me a message that the memory aperture will conflict with system memory. I think that's why it want to get in Windows.  Any help will greatly be appriciated.  Please Reply by mail, because this site is a week late on News   					Thanks

I wonder if anyone can tell me whether or not I can create a bitmap of any size?  I followed the bitmap creation example in SDK manual and specified a 24x24 bitmap (set the width/height to 24) and supplied a byte string with 72 chars.  But I just cannot get the right bitmap image.  I changed the width/height to 32x32 and used the same value string (padded with zero byets to make up to the right size) and got the image.  The example in the manual is 64x32 size, which are multiple of 2 bytes. Can you define a bitmap image of any size?  Thanks very much.  G Chen chen@citr.uq.oz.au
