I am wondering if anyone has had a similar problem to what I am experiancing at
the moment.When ever I use games that use 256 colours such as wolfpack or f19
some of the main screens deteriorate,by this I mean some of the pixels change
colour and I get long lines down my screen(like rain).Also when i use Quick C
with the /h option ke rain)
inorder to use the editor with 50 lines,all the text output from my programs is
jumbled up or missing.I have a feeling that the problem is with my video board.
By the way my equipment is as follows:-
 12mhz 80286 clone
 wd 40 meg ide drive
 trident 8800 vga board with 512k ram
 datatrain dc-507 vga moniter
I also have the following boards installed :-
 1,ADLIB
 2,LOGITECH SCANMAN BOARD
 3,2400b INTERNAL MODEM ON COM 1
 4,I/O BOARD
 5,IDE CONTROLLER
