2678.0. "Problem HW 4.0 and Windows 3.1" by ANGLIN::CLAYTON (Merlin Clayton (314)947-6763) Thu Aug 24 1995 16:12

A customer has recently installed HUBwatch V4.0 on a Compaq Pentium based
system running Windows 3.1.  When HW is started the physical view of the 
hub comes up o.k., and you can move around to different modules and 
different views for a while, then Windows appears to get confused.

A some point the Windows graphics colors for the hub will either go away, or 
turn to white-on-white - text is O.K. Any given window is partially 
displayed with the remainder being blanked out.

When this happens, we look at the system resources, and only 3% of memory
is remaining.  This system has a total of 32 MB memory.  There are no 
other processes running - only drivers have been loaded .

Are there any known resource issues that should be considered with HW 4.0?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Merlin

         Check the video driver they are using in Windows setup. I'll bet
    it is one of the COMPAQ propritary ones. Try changing it to straight
    VGA. I can't explain the reason for the problem but I have had recent 
    experience (can you say last week) setting up for training with the
    same thing. These are after all PAD's (Personal Aggravation Devices)
    that we are talking about.
