Graphics programs are *USUALLY* ok with desqview in my experience IF you limit the program to standard VGA, any SVGA mode or special card specific modes can be a problem for the other windows, as DV does not know how to handle the extended modes I regularly use CAD programs under DV with no problems but only 640x480 modes Hercules graphics is a totally different story that I have no experience with but have been told that DV has problems with knowing the current mode the card is in as there are no readable registers that have the info. peter -- {blister|torag|skypod}!beltrix!peters or peters@torag.uucp OR as a last resort lsuc!canrem!peter.sleggs
