The AIT VGA Wonder 256 color Windows 3.0 drivers dated 11/5/90 still have the same bug as that dated 10/30/90. I have version V3 bios and when you move the mouse to the top of a window it splits the screen into two windows .. unlike others who had this problem tho .. my two scrrens are NOT recognizable .. they are very distorted. I'm specifically talking about the 600x480x256 driver. Anyone still having problems .. I got the drivers from cica.cica.indiana.edu it was strange in that it was an archive within an archive .. oh well .. I hope they are still working on it. ========================================================================== Jim Sonnenmeier ! TRLJIM@UBVMS.BITNET : BITNET ! :-) [72361,2133] : CompuServe !

I don't run them normally because they are to slow in my 8Mhz 286. But I did try them while running some games and had no problems. ============================================================================== University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee USMAIL: Peter J.

I haven't had the window splitting problen described above but I have been getting sporadic colour drop out ( ie the colour change icon in control panel changes to all red and grey scale wall paper no longer is grey but has splotches of solid blue and reds in it). These problems are very rare and were solved by a reboot. They didn't come back which leads me to believe that they were caused by a combination of circumstances ( ie when I redefined a new wallpaper after coming back from a high graphics full screen DOS app). The "bug" that has caused me to go back to 16 colour driver is the inability of the 256 colour driver to keep up with a 2400 baud terminal connection for screen updates. The terminal eventually freezes (I'm using WIN QVT 4.36) and I have to hang up and re log in. Ajai
