i'm running desqview 2.25 on a pc with a 286 accelerator and 2 megs of memory.
i have no problems opening and running multiple apps, limited only by
my available memory...

however, background apps overwrite the screen of the foreground app.  HIDEing
the background app doesn't completely work, as the first and 24th lines on
my display show text from the background app.  also, if a program employs
any kind of video other than black on white (my telecomm. prog uses some
gold on blue characters to display block counts and such)  those chars
come through from the background app.

everything seems to work, but my screens are a mess!

can anyone help?

thanks in advance,
tony
