Hi Steven,

I think the video card and its operating mode seem to be
the most important issue - banked versus linear addressing,
and whether the video chips are integrated on the mother
board of a laptop for example. Some time next week I want
to try 1600x1200 on a 16" sony laptop with WINXP professional
and running from a 128Meg memory stick - mmmm.

It could be that XP sets up the video card in banked mode
before running the dos app, your Vesa driver uses linear
(I think) and therefore has trouble - maybe we need a short
.COM file to switch the video card to linear before
TRAXEDIT.EXE loads up in that dos window - and maybe
switches it back to banked after autotrax finishes...

Are you aware of bank versus linear - is there a possible
alternate set of drivers - Christine (btw) came up with
this as a possible issue - I'll have more feedback during
week,
