Really? This is just opposite... My 'Executor' only draws the cursor.
The problem is, there are times when it *only* updates the cursor (a
shareware game called 'BalderDoush', for example). And the cursor is
updated (that is, the background where the cursor is), while the the
rest of the background is still not updated. After a while, if
everything goes well, the whole screen gets updated. The latter happens
*all* the time.
Reading the mailing-list, it seems like I am the only one having this
problem though (right, wrong? anyone else?)
While we are on the subject, my Executor sometimes don't recognize files
on DOS drive that are not on the root directory. I can change the
directory (i.e. folder) from the root, but it brings up an empty folder.
This is sort of on/off thingi. I don't know when it does happen/not
happen. But once it happens, my only option is to exit Executor and
restart (it usually doesn't work though... after doing something else
for a while, it behaves correctly, like I said, it's voodoo).
FYI, I am running E/D 1.99n on my 486DX100 laptop with Win95 installed.
Thanks in advance for any comments. I havn't seen any software/hardware
company with such a great QA, fast, accurate, detailed answers for every
little single questions on the list/email deserve some applause...
