Hi there!

When I installed the generic "Trident" drivers on my ATI VGAWonder system,
I discovered that Windows real mode programs would no longer run. 
(the real mode app is the scanning program from the ScanMan Plus.  I
really have no urge to spend $75 to upgrade to FotoTouch).

When I re-installed my normal ATI full-screen Windows driver, the program 
would run again.

So, I was wondering if the 2.1 beta still supports real mode Windows, or if
Logitech is going to get a real upgrade program anytime soon.

Also, if the beta seems to not support real mode windows, is it only the
drivers that are the culprits?  Somebody mentioned that they are Panacea's
WinSpeed drivers, which disallow Windows real mode, even under DOS/Windows.
