1,246 | comp.os.ms-windows.misc | any video gurus feel like attacking this quirk hi there i m having a bizarre video problem within windows i have a with a gvga video board i ve been using the standard windows vga driver with other similarly configured computers i am thinking that my problem is with the way windows refreshes it s screen the problem is that once windows has been envoked the colors start changing themselves at first i thought it was hardware but if you open a full screen dos program from within the windows session you don t have any problems until you get back to windows however when you initially return to windows the original colors get refreshed properly also it is not a uniform color change so if you are in solitaire the design on the back of the card maintains it s original color scheme but the white fronts of the cards will turn grey then blue etc the color changes keep getting darker until finally everything is a dark purple ish black if you pop out to dos and exit back to windows the screen gets refreshed again if i don t log into windows and just do dos things from the novell network everything is fine i originally loaded the software by bouncing it down to the net from the other machine i had just finished configuring then from the net to this machine when i ran into problems i deleted everything on this machine and the net and tried bouncing it again when that didn t work i tried reloading windows to no avail any thoughts on things to check out i am totally baffled thanks in advance for any assistance and instruction linda cornell lcornell u washington edu uw office of research

1,287 | comp.os.ms-windows.misc | re borland s paradox offer i am considering buying borland s paradox for windows since i would like to use a database with windows i don t have use one yet for both work home use i would like to advantage of borland s until april offer if this package is everything that borland claims it to be so i was wondering has anybody used this and or have any opinions tom belmonte if you are interested in a program which is very easy to use i strongly suggest approach it is extremely easy to use make reports etc i own both it and paradox and i almost never use paradox if you need to build up a complicated application then paradox is the way to go i have heard horror stories about the access programming being extremely cryptic since you seem like you will probably be doing fairly small stuff work home use and you have not used a database before i recommend approach i have found only one small thing which i would like it to do more easily i have one database where the order in which the records are entered must be different than what is the logical ordering to permanently reorder to use the old dbase iii command the records requires sorting the records appropriately no problem since i almost always use them in this order exporting the database to another database which can still be an approach database and then copying the exported files back to the original filename this is a small weakness considering the other items i really like about approach it is also a little slower than paradox other than the loading paradox takes forever and a minute to load paradox also takes a lot of memory both hard disk around mb and ram greg bishop bishop baeyer chem fsu edu
