I'm having terrible problems trying to run a graphics program on a
new pc clone (XT2000) which has a Hercules equivalent card and a
new ROM.  The ROM is great on boot-up (takes <5 seconds to boot
a machine with 640 K), but I think it may be causing other problems.

In this case, the program claims to run under Microsoft windows, and 
after setting it up for a Hercules card, it hangs as soon as it tries
to go into graphics mode.  The program runs fine on an IBM color
monitor, but also dies on a compaq, which is weird.  (The program
claims that once set up to run on the IBM color monitor it should also
run on a compaq.)

Has anyone else out there run into the same kinds of problems?  Any
suggestions as to what to do about it?  (BTW I have checked out the display
card and it runs graphics fine on other programs)  I'd sure appreciate
any help.

	Thanks in advance.
