I think the subject line says it all: When I am downloading with
WinQVT running Screen Peace also, when Screen Peace starts up after
it's normal time, the downloading is stopped (well, actually paused
until I do some mouse/keyboard action and stop Screen Peace).
Am I doing this wrong? Is there some option setting for SP that I
missed? Does this happen to anyone else? Am I talking to myself? I
look forward to getting any answers.
Thanks,

I think the problem lies in WinQvt. If you so much as minimize the winqvt window while doing a 9600 zmodem dl, the program has fits. The programmers really messed up, you can't move the dl to the background because it will presumably not get enough clock ticks and loses characters. Screen Peace, on the other hand, works perfectly with all of my applications. |Brian Hoffman | |brian@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu | |Quote: "A red sky at night may be a shepard's delight, but you're |

What I suggest you do is define a "never" corner (read docs) and put your cursor there when downloading. This will prevent the blanker from invoking.

I can't believe that Screen Peace is the culprit here. I use Crosstalk for Windows and when I do File Transfers (Kermit, Xmodem/CRC, Zmodem) I never have any problems when the screen gets blanked. As a matter of fact I usually see an increase in performance since the screen does not have to be updated with transfer statistics. The only transfer problems I encounter are when I attempt to open WFW and load a document. It seems that the other end starts getting confused and times out. The disk activity appears to be too much. But of this I am not sure. Let's not jump to confusions.

I think ScreenPeace is a great thing so I have to add my 2 cents also. I have never ever had any problems downloading with Procomm Plus while ScreenPeace kicks off. There is surely another problem here.
