Hello. Does anyone know whether it's possible to run an EGA-resolution program in a window under Windows 3.0/386? I can run CGA programs fine, but whenever I try to run an EGA program in a window, I get the message, "You cannot run this program while other high-resoluation applications are running fullscreen..." (or something very similar) I also noticed that this happens under Windows' standard VGA driver. By the way, I'm using a 386SX w/4MB RAM, ATI VGA Wonder/512K, and ATI's 800x600x16 Windows 3.0 driver. 800x600 is NICE! Can't wait for the 256-color driver. If anyone can help, please respond via follow-up. I've been having difficulties with e-mail. Thanks in advance. -- JJS

It is not possible to run a standard dos application which does graphics in a window, as far as I know. The only way I know of to run a dos graphics application under windows is to run it full screen. (If someone else knows how to do this, I'd also be interested.) Bob Goodearl -- goodearl@world.std.com

It IS possible to run standard dos applications which do graphics in a window, if these applications use the CGA resolution. Wolfgang Strobl

The situation where I recently got the message must have been EGA or VGA resolution. Thanks for the clarification. Bob Goodearl -- goodearl@world.std.com
