[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] CGA Color problems with Desqview

yoon@aludra.usc.edu (Dae-Kyun Yoon) (07/30/90)

I am running Desqview 2.26 with QEMM386 on my 386sx box.
Whenever I run CGA programs in a full window (mostly games), I usually
end up with totally different colors from the original. So, it's very
difficult to recognize objects on the screen in some cases.

Does anybody have(had) this problem ? Any solutions ?

THanks in advance.

Very simple. In the window set-up screen for the windows you are going to
run these programs in, change the "Uses own colors" to Y. Currently you have
it as N, so that DV imposes a mapping of the colors as you set them up (or
the default) in the installation.

P.S.
If you actually see this, can you please email me, as I'm not sure that my
postings are getting out.
(I mean just Mr. Dae-kyun Yoon - I don't need lots of email - thanks)
