I have a Vectra 486/25 (NOT a 'T' version) with an IGC-10.  I have been
running Windows 3.0 for a while without the problems that you 
mentioned. I have had a problem which may be similar.  With at least 
two programs, Ami Pro and Legacy, there are certain lines which do not
show on the screen, but which will print out fine.  This problem is not
there with the regular VGA card, so I believe it is an IGC-10 problem.
I haven't figured out what to do about it yet, but I still have some
things to try.

I assume that you have tried running as minimal of a system as you can
(not LAN, etc.) and with only extended memory.  Also, I assume that you
are using the DGIS drivers and not the TIGA driver.  I had similar 
troubles with the TIGA driver in 600x800 mode, but this is advertised    
to not work.  Have you tried slowing down the speed ( a long shot, but 
easy to try)?  I am definitely no expert on the Vectra 486 & Windows 
3.0 but if I can help with information on my setup, please ask. If you
like, send me your system.ini file, a directory listing of your IGC-10
files, your config.sys file, a printout of your EZCONFIG setup, and 
whatever else seems appropriate.  Hopefully you have gotten it to run
OK by now.
