I've tried every configuration tweak (that I can think of) in an effort to get this software to work, but unless someone has a solution, I'm going to have to persist in switching hard drives!

Is this is a new computer or just OS upgrade? I had the same problem running my schematic package (Schema) also DOS based on a Compaq I bought. I just plain doesn't like the video on the computer. Works OK on other newer faster computers, just not THAT Compaq, including a new Compaq I bought for my wife's mother but decided to keep for myself. > > -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
