i am curious on the cause of the problem... it may be connected to OD 
version of EMM386.  I have noticed that when the task switcher loads, the 
screen blinks funny for a second and then comes back on.  I think this 
may be the screen doing its reset thing that TASKMGR does.  This makes me 
wonder about the problem I am having with the multitasker.  It seems like 
the screen just doesn't wake up when the *multitasker does the screen 
reset thing.  Anyways...  I want to figure this out.  Thanks for the help!
