I have a Gateway 2000 486/33 (8megs, SCSI drive), ATI Ultra Pro with 1572FS monitor; I installed the 8514/A drivers, which seem to work well with full-screen Windows. If I try to run migrated Windows programs however I find I cannot cntrl-escape back to the desktop and then back to the windows program again: the screen stays black, no mouse; I can escape to the desktop and kill it, however. The same programs run perfectly from a full-screen Winos2 desktop, however, and I find I can go back and forth to the OS2 desktop from there with no problem, so using that as a workaround is one solution. I also can only intermittently use a full-screen DOS window; at first it comes up properly (CTRL-ESCAPE banner across the top, etc), but on further invocations, I lose sync whenever trying to get another such window. Again, one can CTRL-ESCAPE out of it, so no big problem. Am I missing something, or do others have similar problems. Obviously, real seamless drivers would be much nicer. Jack -- John P.
