[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Paradise VGA Professional Problem

mregeste@ncrwic.Wichita.NCR.COM (Mark Regester) (11/22/89)

I am trying to set a Paradise VGA Professional video card to one
of it's higher resolution modes, 132 columns x 25 lines, using
the supplied vgaprof.exe program.  After exiting the program,
the screen is set correctly, columns and lines, but there is
a blinking square in the first and last column of each line.

Two calls to their tech. support have resulted in "we will get
back to you" ... that was a week ago.  Has anyone seen this
problem?

Thanks in advance.

I haven't had that problem with the Vga Pro .  Using the 132 x 25, or 132 x
43 line modes don't work with many programs, as you'd expect.  And, even
though I've patched Command.com to clear the screen to blue and white, doing
a CLS in the higher text modes, results only in a black and white clear.  I
suspect that this is because the higher text modes are not standard.

I haven't had to call tech support lately.  They did call back when I had a
question (before I bought the board)!
