I am having some trouble with Windows.
     First problem: Whenever I run certain DOS programs in a
window, the screen fills with funny characters, a different
character on each line.  This even happens when I type
"CLS" to clear the screen at the DOS prompt.
     Second problem: Windows will not let me start a DOS
application in a window or in the background.  I have been
told that this is the problem of the Video BIOS.  Has a
solution to this problem been found yet?  Are the two
problems related?


Thanks for any help,
Lawrence.
