[comp.windows.ms] HDC WIN3 desktop vs cardfile conflict

lev@suned0.nswses.navy.mil (Lloyd E Vancil) (11/16/90)

I have discovered a minor conflict  between Windows 3 and HDC first apps
upgrade for windows 3.  I am running a Compaq SLT286, 1.6 MB ram, 40 Mb hd
nothing really fancy but I Like it.  I have been very pleased with windows
and its functions in my machine.  I have discovered however, a small bug
in what must be HDC's upgrade.  If you run HDC's desktop, primarily to take
advantage of the screen saver, it causes Cardfile to act decidedly wierd.
If you have selected a background for HDC's desktop, the thing Windows calls
wall paper, card file will load and run but any .crd file loaded will show no
cards until you click on File again.  The card file window blinks and just sits
there, blinking occasionally.
I narrowed the problem down to HDC's desktop by off loading EVERYTHING else
and then adding them back one at a time.  Each different trial I had only 
one thing running.  The cardfile problem went away until I realoaded HDC's
Desktop so I offloaded everything but that one.  Problem appeared again, so
I disabled each of the functions of desktop and discovered that the problem is
related only to HDC's Bacgroound, or wallpaper, function.
