I need some help with Windows 3.0. I have a 386SX, 2Mb RAM, Vega EGA card in CGA mode, CGA monitor (I am working on a replacement). When running in 386 mode, if I try to execute any DOS applications (including a DOS shell) I get the following message: "386 System Display Type Mismatch". When I installed Windows, I told it I had CGA. Using the supplied program that is supposed to force CGA emulation "vega cga:on" does not make a difference. If anyone can help, I will email my config.sys, autoexec.bat, and system.ini. Thanx in advance.

I get the same problem with a Zenith 386 Turbosport (also CGA), 3MB RAM. I actually fell into it working twice (once with MS on the hotline, so I assumed we'd fixed it and closed the call). I can't make it come up reliably; it usually does the thing you report. I'd sure like to hear of any suggestions. From the minimal commonality between our two systems, my guess is that there's a CGA problem. -- Barry Press Internet: press@venice.sedd.trw.com
