Lines: 15 ****** HELP !!!!!! *************** I hope that somebody out there can help me It seems that my 1000EX has a problem with a video ram chip. When I run programs like Lotus (lately) my screen flickers with any cursor movement. I called the local TRS technician and he diagnosed the problem as to what I have just described. My problem is how do I locate the bad chip and if it is a bad chip then why when I boot up the machine it says 640 ram OK. This problem does not happen with graphics programs like surfer or flight simulator so I really don't understand why this is happening. THANKS FOR ANY HELP Mark Rosenberg
