I assume that for each, you are using some high-resolution Windows
driver and have 3D Studio configured for some high-resolution modes.
Have you tried using some standard SVGA driver for Windows? This
might help. If this is unacceptable, have you looked around at the
PIF settings for 3D Studio… I believe that there are settings for
forcing redraws and the like for the Windows side of things. As for
the 3D Studio side, you might have to switch modules or something to
get it to redraw.

I just explained to Gus that I haven't even installed your new
drivers. It has not been a concern yet. I just started to learn 3DS
and don't use it much under windows,
But, I would like to know how to redraw the screen when I return to
Windows after using a TSR (to change my mouse key definitions).
Sometimes I want to use the TSR while using Corel Draw, for example.
Do you, or Gus, have any suggestions? What I do now is jump to a DOS
window first.
Chuck, thanks, but I specifically stated in my message that
"256-color only solutions need not apply." We REQUIRE True Color in
3DS and at least High Color in Windows. Resorting to a "standard
SVGA driver" would fall into that "need not apply" category.
No PIF settings will do what you describe. I am very familiar with what all
the PIF settings do.
Gus, your solution sounds excellent! Now, if only we can get some
3DS drivers that implement it!
