I recently installed a SpeedStar 24X board and experienced a perplexing
problem.  It behaved fine in Windows and in DOS but I had problems with
screen redraws when returning to Windows from the DOS prompt.  I tried
every switch setting on the board and tweaked PIFs until I was blue in
the face with no resolution.  Than I recalled that I was using the
popular ANSI.SYS replacement NANSI.SYS.  When I went back to plain old
ANSI.SYS the problem went away.  I also tried it with the newer NNANSI.SYS
and the problem recurred.  So.... if you are having similar problem and are
using NANSI or a something similar, give it a try.  Might save you a headache.
