On my Gateway 386SX with 2 MB of memory, when I used the ATI 1024 x 768 driver things worked a little slower, but when I tried to print any document more than a couple of pages I would get an unrecoverable application error. It took a bit of twiddling before I realized that the video driver was the trigger -- either it used up too much memory in my admittedly small (for Win 3.0) machine, or something else was happening. Since I was only using the high-res driver so that my desktop bitmap would look cool, I don't miss the high resolution (and I definitely don't miss the slow performance). -- Ed Ravin | Even if I could think of a profound, witty, insightful cmcl2!panix!eravin | quote to put here noone would bother reading it. philabs!trintex!elr | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
