Jim: Your problem may be related to one of 2 things: Devices and programs loaded into high memory. I know that you need to load some stuff high in order to run the GPT in hi-color modes, but it might be a worthwhile experiment to disable DOS-UP.SYS so that things get loaded low, then run the GPT in a 256 color mode to see if things work better. Disk cache. I noticed that your smartdrive buffer is only 128K for Windows. Do you have a hardware cache? More likely, have you enabled 32-bit file access in the 386Enhanced, Virtual Memory area of Control Panel? If it is enabled, disable it and increase your smartdrive cache to see if things work better. There are some other possbilities that come to mind, but these two warrant research before we move on. Please let me know if this helps, and if it doesn't, we'll take the next step together. Nick Josephs ]Visual Software
