Hi,

    I'm not a subscriber to this news group, so forgive my not finding the FAQ.
Please mail all replies to my e-mail address below.

    I have a 486-33 with AMI BIOS and an AHEAD SVGA with 1 Meg.  I started 
having problems after loading a Z-NIX version of Windows 3.1.  Problem is
most easily duplicated by playing five or six rounds of solitare.  Abruptly the
cards turn black, but the background remains green.  If I hit ctrl-alt-delete,
the card changes resolution to print the reboot message, but the message 
appears to have ASCII escapes embedded, and is unreadable.  If I return to
Windows, the problem seems to go away (for a while anyway).

    This problem is evident when I use Microsoft's memory managers or 386MAX.

    This problem also appears when I create obtain a DOS prompt, make it a 
DOS Window, and then return to full screen DOS.  When I exit this DOS session,
all of my windows icons are black.  I can temporarily clear this by 
ctrl-alt-deleting as above.

    I have tried excluded memory in windows.ini, but suspect I've got the
wrong memory address ranges.

    I downloaded a "new" Ahead driver from ftp.cica.indiania.edu, but it 
doesn't help.  I have tried Microsoft's VGA (800x600) driver, but have the
same problems.

    Any help trouble shooting this would be appreciated.  Thank You.
