#NortonDesktop & VBasic
3 messages in this thread
Has anyone had any problems using VB under Norton Desktop for Windows. I
notice a comment in the VB-TIPS file. I've had several problems from the
dreaded UAE to the mouse ceasing to respond to the buttons. No problem
running under ProgMan. One of the main culprits seems to be "Sleeper" the
screen blanker. Disabling Sleeper seems to have cured, at least my last
session. Norton denies any knowledge & MSoft tech support has no knowledge
of this problem. Derek

John,
The key, perhaps, to the question posed before, is the screen blanker. I
did some tests the other day on a printing routine I'm using in an app.
With After Dark loaded, printing took almost three times as long as with it
unloaded. Obviously, the timers in After Dark are just using up too much
time. I imagine that there could be other problems as well.
In my apps, I notice that the less stuff I have going on simultaneously in
Windows, the less often I see the UAE box.
