[comp.windows.ms] VGA/EGA dos apps in 386Enh window

terryt@cs.athabascau.ca (Terry Tanski) (08/14/90)

I am able to execute CGA applications in a Dos window and they display
correctly. When I try to run a EGA/VGA app, I have to make it full screen
before it will function. Windows brings up a dialog box and instructs me
to check PIF settings. I have set the PIF settings to high video and high
monitor and retain video memory.

The app in question is ZSTEM240 from KEA Systems and it is configured for
a VGA display. I have a 4meg 20MHz 386 box with ATI VGAWonder card. I have
installed windows with the default VGA (640X480) driver.

I would like any help in pointing out a problem area since I would like
to run all my non-windows apps in a Win3 Dos window. I use many VGA/EGA
programs and hate switching to full screen mode all the time.


A thousand thanks,
