In using Procomm at home I notice some screen flicker at the top
of the screen (a well defined block about 1/2 inch high and the full
width of the screen) When I call up the dialing directory, it pops
up, then this upper block kind of winks black and then comes back.
I notice this same effect every time a block is transfered during
a download or upload, and every time I call up any other Procomm
window (help screen, for instance).
I tried the same program at work, and my work PC/AT does not do the
same thing; it comes up fine just like you would expect. Running
Procomm from a hard disk or a floppy made no difference. Problems
at home; no problems at work.
I have the same amount of buffers and files on both machines. I
have an older EGA graphics card at work with little RAM. My graphics
card at home is an Everex EGA, one year old, very nice board. I would
have expected better performance on my home system than at work.
Any thoughts? I can live with the problem, but I am just curious
about why it happens on one machine and not the other.
