[comp.windows.ms] windows crashes in paint

katz@cs.ucf.edu (Katz) (02/27/91)

I have a 386SX with 2 Mb of RAM, an ST296N hard drive, and a 1Mb VGA card with
the TSENG4000 chipset.  

My problem is this:

Windows will spontaneously crash out to dos whenever I try to run paintbrush.

I've tried running paint in 640x480x16, 640x480x256,800x600x16,800x600x256,
1024x768x16, and 1024x768x256 modes.  I've tried it with 1 Mb on board, and I've tried the lower res. modes with only 512K on board.  It _STILL_ crashes.

WHen it dies, it leaves behind a 2-3Mb WIN386.SWP file too.

ALSO, I am having problems with WINGIF, when trying to load in large 256 color images.

PLEASE respond if you know how to fix my problem.
