- Here is some of my problems running Executor with the video card Matrox
- MGA Millenium. I have posted this before at questions@ardi.com and I post
- this here if anybody could help or have experience with it.
-
- Under Windows 3.x (with QEMM 7.5), there is a random chance of success
- for Executor to be launched properly, depending on the applications
- running, before, or during the time executor is working. I have seen a
- lot of fantaisist behaviour of the video once Executor is launched.
-
- OK I have test several things to run executor without QEMM 7.5, the
- program works fine under Windows 3.x, and it is launched properly every
- time. But, but, the video problems still persist when you try to scroll
- with the Alt-Tab or the Ctrl-Esc keys between different applications.
- These tests have been performed with executor in 256 colors mode in
- 640x480 resolution, Windows using Matrox video drivers in 256 or 16M
- colors in 800x600 resolution. Another problem I would submit to you is
- that executor launched under dos with the -size 800x600 arg with only 2
- TSR loaded (HIMEM and MOUSE) crashes systematically giving the following
- message:
- "General Protection Fault at eip=00af104
- eax=ffffffff ebx=00295ffc ecx=fc5f2900 edx=001b8a1e esi=ffffffff
- edi=fc5f2900

- 0x00079e10
- 0x00079c40
- 0x000adddb
- 0x0016e561"
-
- Other resolutions 640x480,1024x768, etc are working fine. The same thing
- was done under Windows with sames arguments, and there is only video
- problems with the mouse cursor..
-
- cwsdpmi does not change anything of the symptoms described above,
- although, I wonder if Windows does (or not) provide a DPMI support?
