I have been suffering the stripey death syndrome when using 1.2 in a
full screen Win95 session, although intermittently.

I have found that they disppear if you change from full screen to a
windowed session (using Alt+Enter), then do Alt+F5 to 'toggle' the
user screen, then go back to full screen.  The problem seems to go
away, alas temporarily. =20

I haven't yet managed to pin down a specific action that causes the
problem in the first place, and so hadn't yet posted a proper bug
report. =20

Incidentally my graphics card is a Diamond Stelath 2001 Video Dram,
using the following driver, Direct Draw Stealth 64 Video 2001 PCI
v.4.02.096.

Please let me know if they temporary fix works for you
