IBM PC330/PC350 - Video corruption with Intercept v4.0

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom :
IBM PC 300 Series 6576 and 6586 systems with OS/2 2.11 or OS/2 WARP 3.0 may exhibit video corruption in WIN-OS/2 while using the Intercept v4.0 application.

The system fails to refresh the screen as windows are opened or objects are moved around the display. The WIN-OS/2 session eventually becomes unusable.

Problem Isolation Aids :
When the corruption begins, the available system resources are less than 9%. The resources are displayed by selecting "HELP", then "About Program Manager" in the WIN-OS/2 session. The resources will continue to drop as activity within the session continues. Eventually, the WIN-OS/2 session must be closed and reopened to refresh system resources.

This failure does not occur if the S3 Trio64/64v+ video driver is configured for VGA. All SVGA resolutions may exhibit the symptom in seamless mode, Full Screen or from the WIN-OS/2 Desktop.

Fix :
Install the latest version of the S3 Trio 64/64v+ video device drivers for OS/2. The current level S3 Trio64/64v+ video device driver for OS/2 is level 2.85.02
