I have a strange problem when I'm running windows 3.0.  Every now and
then when something is being moved across the screen the pixels in a
small square area get corrupted.  So my display eventually has all of
these little black/white/inverse colored little boxes scattered all
over the screen.  Since I usually run my apps in full screen mode I
can cleanse the screen by making it a window and then going back to
full screen mode.  However, doing this is really very annoying.  Has
anyone else seen this problem and found a cure??  Any help greatly
appreciated.

Here are some praticulars to aid in making judgements/decisions.

ALR 386-20
Dos 3.3
WD8003 card
pcnfs installed
Boca 16Bit (s?)vga  600x800 (I think)
Conner 100M HD

Note:  I didn't have this problem until I switched from an ATI EGA
Wonder card to a Boca VGA card.  I have talked to Boca and they
claim there are no problems using the card with windows.

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I haven't seen anyone else complaining.
