Hello to you all,

   My sad story begins on the day I chose to debug with CVW using 2 monitors,
   VGA and monochrome.

   I connected a Zenith mono monitor (+ Hercules card) to my 25Mhz Elite 386
   with 2Mb and an Everex color VGA card.

   Windows ran in enhanced mode.

   I tryed the DOS command : mode mono   ,and it worked just fine.  BUT ...
   when I double-clicked the CodeView icon...SHAZAM... the screen went out of
   tune and when I stopped the motion by turning the monitor's Vertical, the
   picture was unclear with additional enlarged background images.
   Useless.

   The same thing happened (exactly) on my Elite AT Turbo 286 with 1Mb and
   Video Graphics Array's VGA-III running at Windows' standard mode.

   Here I tryed another monochrome monitor, a IBM XT one.

   It simply turned itself off...


   I smell a software problem, but where ???


   Many thanks in advance,

                    Ilan              r70007@barilvm.bitnet
