I'v got a C&T NEAT 20 MHz '286 with a Paradise VGAPlus 16 bit, 256 k
card driving a Sony CPD-1302 Multi-Scan monitor and I want 256 
colors in Windows.  Every time I try, I see the Windows welcome 
screen and then video garbage in which I can just make out the 
hourglass and mouse pointer and from which I can exit gracefully 
with keyboard commands.  I've tried the new Windows drivers on WD's 
Paradise bullitin board and read all of the docs and readmes I can 
get my hands on, but still no luck.  One of the readme files that 
came with the card mentions that in 640x480x256 mode the card does 
not have enough memory and will use some system memory to make up 
the difference, but not where it needs to find this memory.  I'm 
stumped.  Thanks.

ciao
