- She blows up on me, alright - in Winword 2.0a when accessing the Options
- menu, using the 800x600x256 driver. This is a known bug that
- Diamond is working on. I am now using the 800x600x32000 driver,
- which works okay with Winword's Options menu, although I've been
- getting a "MSWord is unable to save Clipboard" message on exit.
- Tonight I'm going to go back to MS's 800x600x16 generic driver.
-
- I hope Diamond gets their drivers fixed soon!
