I have Windows 3.0, Word for Windows 1.0, and Orchid ProDesigner II with
1 MB of RAM. If I use the standard VGA driver, everything works great.

However, if I use the high resolution drivers for the Orchid card, e.g.
800x600x256 colors, then Word documents lose all WYSIWYG
characteristics. All of my Word files then look like a really bad draft
mode, with some very ugly system type font. Everything else works fine
in this mode, and I would really like to use this mode for all of my
windows work.

Does anyone know what the problem could be here? I installed the
high-res drivers by copying them into my windows\system directory, and
selected 800x600x256 in the Windows Setup program.  I have followed all
instructions as far as I know. The possible problems are with Windows
software, Word software, Orchid driver, Orchid hardware, and ????


Thanks for any help.

Please e-mail me replies, and I will post to the group if there is
enough interest.

Thanks,
