First, get the new s3.dll, from Borland's bbs, either their own,
or the one on Compuserve (it may be elsewhere also.)

Put this in your borlandc\bin directory.  Find also a tdw.dll there.
Edit your tdw.ini like follows:

[TurboDebugger]
VideoDLL=c:\borlandc\bin\s3.dll
DebuggerDLL=C:\BORLANDC\BIN\tdwin.dll
[VideoOptions]
DebugFile=c:\borlandc\bin\tdw.log
SaveWholeScreen=no
Int2FAssist=no
IgnoreMode=no


The important lines are the VideoDLL, DebuggerDLL, and DebugFile lines.

And, lastly, make sure that the tdw.ini is in your windows directory,
along with your other *.ini files.

Works for me,  good luck to you,
