[comp.os.msdos.desqview] Lotus 1-2-3 in DV and start order

sichermn@beach.csulb.edu (Jeff Sicherman) (06/12/91)

  Have a friend using Lotusd 123, release 3, on a 386 machine with 2 meg
and running under qemm (version 5.0) and dv (version 2.26). If he loads
and runs 123 first he is able to switch away and start another rather large
program (Dataease) and then switch back. There is disk swapping though. A
grey pattern covers the screen when he activates the DV menu (the graphics
curtain ?). However, if he starts dataease first and then 123 and tries to
switch away from 123, the screen messes up (yellow crap in the middle) and
the system locks up. System memory problems maybe ? general rule/principle
to be followed here ? Program configuration change required ?
