- I have a 33mhz 486dx running windows 3.1. I have A NI ctx monitor, and
- a trident videocard with an 8900c chip. It works fine with the svga driver
- that came with windows. but when I try to use tridents drivers for 256 color
- mode ( I have the 4-92 release from wuarchive) I encounter a problem with
- the dos prompt, it won't start up as an icon or in a window ( it says
- aplication cannot run in window or background) but if I toggle it to full
- screen and then return to a window it works fine. Has anyone else encountered
- this problem or more importantly know the solution?
- thanks in advance
