 Help - I have a Tandy 1000SL onto which I installed a Orbit VGA 100
 Board and an IBM Model 5175001 display.  

 Previous to this installation the Music function of Desk-Mate worked
 with a mono-monitor. (MUSIC.PGM still works fine on a Mono if the
 VGA board is removed.)

 Now, however, anytime I enter MUSIC.PDM, the system locks up and a
 boot is required.

 At first it was suspected that it was an interrupt problem, but 
 considering that other sound/music programs work fine and do not
 exhibit this problem, it is probably not an interrupt problem.

 Software is MS-DOS 3.3 and Desk-Mate 3.0.0 - Any help will be appreciated.
 Additional information, this is the ONLY program that fails, so
 it may be software, but I don't get any good answers from my local
 Radio Shack people.

 Hardware configuration is: 640KB of memory, 40MB hard disk, 360KB
 floppy, 2 serial ports, 1 parallel port.  SETUPSL command has been
 executed to lower the video memory assigned to the lowest that Tandy
 software will accept since the VGA board has its own local memory.
