It must be something else other than the ATI card since I've used the VGA Wonder with Windows 2.11 (386) and 3.0 on several different 386 machines, opening DOS windows in 800x600 and 1024x768 modes and everything is fine. Old Windows drivers from ATI used to have a few problems but newer versions (last 1.5 years) have worked well. Perhaps you need a new driver, or maybe its your BIOS (AMI and Phoenix work well, I've heard of problems with the AWARD BIOS). Cheers, Dan Ts'o 212-570-7671 Dept.
