I have a similar machine spec, still a Gateway but a DX and also have 8 megs
of ram. I haven't run into this problem. We also intalled another 8 users and
no reports there either. It's more likely a windows setup problem. having
said that we're using msdos 6.1 if that's any differnt to you? BN>

It may be a problem with your video driver. PowerBuilder has a problem with
drivers running in colors > 256, resolution > 800X600. THis may be rectified
by downloading the PB3.0a08 fixes from the Compuserve PowerSoft Forum. If that
is not an alternative, then you might want to try scaling back your color depth
or resolution.

I'll have to agree - dropping the colors/resolution was the trick for us. We

Some of our target machines run at 1600x1200. Asking them to go down to
even 800x600 is just not an option.

The PowerBuilder 3.0a08 patches may be your solution then. They can be found in
the PowerSoft Compuserve forum in the Maintenance Files Library. This should do
the trick for you. I have been running at 800X600, 65K colors with no problems
using these patches.

Hope this was a help.
