- This might not be an Executor problem, but I'll ask anyway.
-
- I have tried Executor both with and without the UniVesa drivers, and I have
- run into a problem. Without the drivers, it has the same cursor redraw
- annoyance that has been mentioned before (so I'll ignore that for now). With
- the drivers, it detects the VESA 2.0 fine, but it won't start up in any
- video mode with greater than 4 bits per pixel. Is there some command line
- switch that can solve this problem, perhaps by allocating more memory?
-
- I have a 486DX2, an ATI mach64 compatible card, and am using 386max or
- Windows to supply the DPMI, although the same problem happens with CWSDPMI.
-
- By the way, you can add Executor to the list of products that conflict with
- Novell DPMS (Dos Protected Mode Services). Fortunately I have enough free
- ram that I can run Stacker without it. Stacker allows me to make a 40 meg
- hfv file that uses 5 megs on disk! No conflicts have arisen yet (other than
- DPMS).
