I am unable to run Windows 3.0 in 386 enhanced mode on my Northgate
386 machine. The symptoms are that the screen is a mess and the
cursor usually locks up. Substituting the Northgate-supplied vga-16
board with a Paradise 8-bit board solves the problem. Northgate can
not explain this (they suggest not using enhanced mode). Any ideas?

Of course, the software was sent to me by Northgate. I wonder they make some changes to Windows 3.0 they are destributing. Sisira Jayasinghe.
