Hi netlanders,
I am having problems with my computer when I run windows 3.0 and a
special grahics program that came with my Genoa card called GVGA.
The problem that concerns me most is the second.

The symptoms are when I run GVGA my system hangs up most of the time
and a cold boot is required.  What the GVGA program does is allows a
user to test certain resolutions and color combinations on the vga
system.

The system is a 386 with the C&T chip set, Genoa 6400 super vga 
video controller, and an Amazing Super VGA monitor.  I forgot the
model no. but was manufactured in April of 90 and it is IBM 8514/A
compatible.  I have an 85MB seagate drive and a SCSI disk controller.

The problem is sporatic although it does not work most times.  I have
tried turning off shadow RAM, I have checked dip switches and tried
variations, I have modified the hardare setup, and I have replaced 
the software just in case I had a corupted copy.

Another guy with the same configuration but with a Panasync monitor
says it runs fine.

Anybody out there have any advice or similar experiences?

thanx
