SYMPTOMS
========
On some Cirrus Logic-based laptops, Extended Video (VESA) programs may not
display correctly.
RESOLUTION
==========
To eliminate the display problems, run the VESA programs in Single MS-DOS
Application Mode. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Click the Start button, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt on
the menu that appears.
2. In the MS-DOS Prompt dialog box, click the Properties button.
3. In the MS-DOS Prompt Properties dialog box, click the Program tab, and then
click the Advanced button.
4. In the Advanced Program Settings dialog box, make sure the MS-DOS Mode box is
checked, and then click the OK button.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Typically, a VESA program is displayed only on the top half of the screen,
overlapping itself. The program generally remains functional, and you are able
to quit the program properly.
