I have tried this driver and find that it introduces serious bugs not seen in the build 50 ones: DOS boxes generate garbage on the screen outside of themselves, and if you run a Mach32 program full screen in a DOS box, on returning to a Windows graphics screen I find more damage than with the Build 50 ones. If the Build 50 ones work for you ... these are worse. It's not for nothing they are labelled "beta". The build 50 ones are far superior in my case. Doug McDonald
