- Yes....Win 3.11 Does cause Executor to "lock" and the only solution is to
- ctrl-alt-delete ( that I have found ). This puts a real damper on
- Multi-tasking. I was wondering if Cliff could shed some light on the
- subject? Are there plans ( WAYS ) to fix this problem?
-
- With my knowledge of how windows works, I wouldn't be supprised if Cliff
- said that the problem can't be solved. It is possible that ARDI has put
- Executor in a video mode that Windows doesn't recgonize as valid, and
- therefore, is unable to restore the mode. What I don't know is if Executor
- can "know" that it has been swaped, and then reset its own video mode when
- it returns. Couldn't you put some kind of 386Enh driver in windows to track
- such events?
