Here is this morning's email from a user:

I/We have tried changing background/foreground colors in both Windows
3.0 and XVision 3.2 with correcting the problem.  I/We also reinstalled
the video device driver in case that was corrupted.  It worked but now 
it appears the problem is back.  Any clues?  

Here is our basic configuration.

	UNISYS PW2 800, 386/33 with 4meg memory, 320meg SCSI HD
	UNISYS (Video 7/Headland) SuperVGA with 512K RAM
	WD 8003W EtherCard Plus 10T (8 bit)
	FTP PC/TCP V2.03
	DOS 4.01
	Windows 3.0
	XVision 3.2

Thanks in advance.  Please respond via email or voice: (203) 949-0303
until 2pm EDT.  Ask to have me paged.
