Hi. I am running Borland C++ on my 286 clone. It has a Paradise 16-bit VGA card. After I installed window drivers for Paradise card (by copying the PVGA480.DRV to c:\windows\system\vga.drv) (so thatI can have 256 colors in 640x480), I started window in standard mode. Then I ran "Turbo Debugger for Windows" in Windows 3.0. Everything was fine then. But after I exitted Turbo Debugger for Windows, I had a big problem with the display. The display was screwed up. It seems it has sync problem, and the Turbo Debugger won't restore the display parameters for windows 3. I have the same problem when I run in 800x600 and 1024x768 mode. However, if I run window 3 using the original VGA driver provided by window 3, (only 16 colors), everything is fine. Does anybody know what is happening there? Or does anybody have the same problem as I have? Is this a bug in Turbo Debugger? Or this is a bug in paradise drivers? ***************************************************************************** * Ho capito, signor,si!........ * * * *Cheng Yang Home Address: * *Department of Computer Science 808 East, 300 South, #3 * *University of Utah Salt Lake City, UT 84102 * *E-Mail Address:cyang@peruvian.utah.edu Tel: 801-322-1918 * *****************************************************************************

As far as I know, the Turbo Debugger for Windows manual states that TDW will not work with ANY super-VGA modes. Period. Brian

I also do my debugging on a monochrome monitor, and TDW STILL messes up my VGA display. It is not too bad, just a loss of color. I have accidentally invoked some magical combination of things that has brought the colors back without re-starting windows, but haven't tracked it doen yet.

Are you using the latest V7 drivers? That might be part of the problem.
I use TDW with a second monitor while my primary is running in 1024x768x256
(Tsueng 4000 chipset), without any problems whatsoever.
Well, I can't use ctrl-alt-sysreq, but Borland is (hopefully! :-) looking into
that. {and yes, I know the workarounds, but it doesn't work in standard mode
or with the windebug.386 driver either}
