Here are the symptoms: DJGPP/Rhide worked perfectly for me under Win95. I recently installed WinNT 4.0 Workstation. Now, if I try to start RHIDE: a) If the DOS box is in window mode, the first time I type RHIDE nothing happens -- i.e., I just get dumped back to the command prompt. The second time I try to load the program (within the same BOS box), it loads, but if I then switch the window to full-screen mode, RHIDE crashes and sometimes completely hangs the computer. b) If the DOS box is in full-screen mode when I start RHIDE, it loads and seems to work fine -- but if I switch to window mode, it crashes. c) (Separate problem): When RHIDE is in window mode, WinNT updates the screen something like only once every half second, as opposed to Win95 which was very fast. I like using the higher monitor refresh rates that I can get under Windows, but unless it updates the contents of the window a bit faster, it's too sluggish to use! Is there any way to make WinNT pay more attention to updating the screen? --- Michael Hecht [remove the x's from my address to reply]
