- Print Screen problems
- by Vernon Balbert
-
- Because DESQview V2.26 handles print screen in a different way,
- some systems begin to have problems that they didn't have with
- older versions of DESQview. To solve the problem, you can make a
- patch that will make DESQview use the older way of working with
- Print Screen. To do so, follow these steps:
-
- 1) MAKE A BACKUP OF DV.EXE. I cannot stress this enough. If you
- do something wrong, you will want to be able to restore the
- program to its pristine state.
-
- 2) Rename DV.EXE to X:
- C:\DV> ren dv.exe x
-
- 3) Load up DEBUG and the file that we will work on:
- C:\DV>debug x
-
- 4) Search for the appropriate place in the file to change:
- -s 100 l f000 5a 6e
- It should return with the following:
- xxxx:yyyy
- Write this down as you will need this number in the next step.
-
- 5) Now we want to edit two bytes. Replace the xxxx:yyyy with
- what you found in the last step.
- -e xxxx:yyyy 4e ac
-
- 6) Now, write the file to disk:
- -w
- Writing 20354 bytes
-
- 7) Leave DEBUG.
- -q
-
- 8) Rename X back to DV.EXE:
- C:\DV>ren x dv.exe
-
- Following these steps should fix your print screen problem.
