I am having some strange problems with WinGIF.  First some background:

I'm running windows 3.0 on a 386-33 (mylex mb), with 8mb ram and a 170 mb
scsi.  I just upgraded from ega to an Orchid Pro II and a Sony 1304 (lovely
combination I might add).  Anyway... on with my problem.  I reinstalled
windows from my orig. disks because I had swapfile problems (after deleting
my permanant swapfile, it wouldn't let me run a dos shell or any dos
program), and configured windows for 800x600x256.  When I open a gif file
in WinGIF, it opens it upside-down!  It actually reads it upside-down to
the screen (you can watch it scroll from bottom up).  Not only this, but I
discovered if I minimize the WinGIF process and then maximize it, the GIF
has turned itself rightside up again!  If I try to open a second gif, it
comes out upside down again!.  This did not happen when I was running in
EGA mode.  Any clues as to what is going on???  (or what had happened to my
swapfile problem)

Vince
