  I got a system recently and I decided to add some drivers to Wordperfect and
to windows so I could get  800x600 graphics, and 80x30 text modes.  Everything
works pretty well, but I have a couple of programs, one being the video driver
installation disk that came with the card, which get sort of screwy.  It pops
up a window, with buttons on the screen to push with the mouse, then if you
hit one, a small square around the pointer turns white (blank?) and stays that
way.  It only does it while I have this driver running.  If I reboot, without
the driver line in autoexec.bat, it works fine.  I can't seem to dig up any
documentation on any of the drivers, and I am out of ideas myself.  Anybody
know what I am doing wrong...or what the card is doing wrong if I am actually
doing everything right.
