Hi,

I have a little problem with Win3.
I have a 286 with 2mb of memory. I run a Dos session
and then Cntrl-Tab to switch to another program.
However, when I try to return to the Dos App the
screen is all messed up. The program is fine because
I can quit out of the program but all I can see on the
screen is vertical lines on a blue background.

Has anybody come across this problem? 
Does Windows on a 286 support this kind of operation?
I am no expert on Win3 so I would appreicate even the 
obvious tips !#!


John
