Yes, I have noticed that the V7 800 X 600 driver causes the screen to go to
garbage when you start an app using CVW. This is probably a bug in the driver.

I have to switch to the standard Win 3 VGA driver when I use CVW. The only
bitch with that is that I think it is VERY slow compared to the V7 driver.
