SUMMARY

Several customers have reported that when running QBX.EXE from Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) version 7.00 or 7.10 on a machine with a Tecmar ROM BIOS version 1.02 or 1.04, if a VGA screen is being used, the environment loses color and the system eventually hangs or reboots itself.

Tecmar is researching this problem and will provide a free upgrade to Tecmar ROM BIOS version 1.11. To obtain this free upgrade, call Tecmar technical support at (800) 344-4463.
