Hi all,
I've actually got RHIDE working and doing all the C++ business ok.
But when I press alt F5 to view the user screen, I get a blank screen,
and when I go Alt F and D to get a dos shell, I also get a blank
screen, 
If I switch back to the windoze 95 or 98 gui then back to the rhide
program, I get the user or dos screen back ok.

I think this is a problem concerning my Matrox Millenium II video card
as I have this problem on Windows 98 and 95 and it doesn't matter
which mother board I use. and I've got 64 MB RAM so that shouldn't be
a problem.

I tried the switch to make Rhide use a different method of screen
driving, I think that was the /G switch, I tried values of 0, 1 and 2,
all to no avail.

If any one has any suggestions, I'd be gratefull.
Kevin.
