The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.11
This article was previously published under Q84705 SYMPTOMS
If you are using an IBM PS/2 model 90 or 95, and you run an MS-DOS-
based application with standard VGA selected, when you press ALT+ENTER
to run the application in a window, the screen may become corrupt.
Forcing the screen to redraw usually clears the screen.
CAUSE
IBM PS/2 models 90 and 95 are not fully compatible with Microsoft
Windows version 3.1's standard VGA driver. The XGA card built into the
model 95 lacks the ability to understand the VGA virtual display
driver (*VDDVGA) built into WIN386.EXE, and the 386 grabber file
(VGA.3GR).
RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, install the PS/2 model 90 and 95 as XGA
(640 x 480, 16 colors), as detected by Setup, or set up for one of the
other XGA displays.
