Has anybody been able to get Borland 3.1 to work with an ATI/Ultra using
the ultra.dll supplied with the BC3.1 release.

Symptoms:
Invoking debugger from IDE or by clicking on TDW icon crashes windows 
big-time. Ctrl-Alt-Del trick does not work, and leads to the DOS prompt
or sometimes a continuous tone emanating from speaker. On a few (rare)
occasions I have seen the debugger screen come up, only to have the
monitor go black about a half second later ... never to be seen again.
Crash also occurs in 800x600 mode.


Vital Data:
ATI/Ultra 1024x768 Non-interlaced (16bit bus interface).
Windows 3.1 express install over existing 3.0 running Enhanced mode.
10 meg permanent swap file.
486/33 PC clone with AMI BIOS (256K cache).

CONFIG.SYS
-------------------------
device=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
FILES=40
BUFFERS=40
dos=high,umb
device=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE noems x=c000-cfff

devicehigh=c:\dos\ansi.sys
devicehigh=c:\dos\setver.exe
shell=c:\command.com /p/e:1024
STACKS=9,256
-------------------------


I've followed the directions in the readme that came with BC3.1 and am at
a loss. I've fooled around with the above config.sys alot, to no avail, and
am getting tired of rebooting. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Bob Allen
