- Sounds to me like your video card is defaulting to a crummy refresh
- rate. You need to run some software (my Diamond SteedStar 64 has
- a utility called SSMODE) that will kick the card into high gear from
- a DOS session. Windows and OS/2 drivers do this for you, but in
- DOS it often has to be explicitly done.
-
- That also applies to OS/2 VDMs, BTW, and possibly other VMs in other
- environments as well.
-
- That's my semi-educated guess, anyway. :-)
