I'm using Executor DOS 1.99D. When I run it with only the -applzone
switch, it runs normally. But, when I use the -macbpp 8 -realbpp 8
switches I get a white border around the screen. This doesn't change even
when I run applications. I have a Diamond Stealth 24 VESA card. My system
is a 486DX2 w 16 Megs of RAM. Also, if I try to run Executor in Windows
using the bpp 8 switches, it won't run. I usually run Windows in 24 bit
color. Any ideas as to why? I suspect the Diamond drivers.
Thanks,
G.II.L.

The Diamond drivers are not to blame. 1.99f fixes both problems.
