Hi.

Has anyone ever sucessfully run any dos-graphics program which use
ega/vga insider window3.0 using windowed (not full screen) display?
 
I have tried every method mentioned in the menu to modify the PIF file
but I always get the warning that I cannot run a high resolution
program while background (window itself) is running in high
resolution. Does it has anything to do with wall paper or some sort?
Another strange thing is if I use cga graphics the program does run in
the windowed display but the graphics is the same size as it is in
full screen? Unlike the ega/vga case when I use Alt-Enter. Any clue?
