Nic, apologise for my intemperate attack on Borland.
Where to from here?
Old Latitude Cpi worked fine.
Dell says the card is the same as the old one, integrated in the motherboard.
The card is probably OK NeoMagic MagicMedia 256AV (Note NOT the same a Nic's)
The driver was released 1/4/2000.
My version of Comctl32 is 5.8. Tick.
I have tried the Standard MS VGA driver (can't find a standard SVGA)
and it displays properly
BUT
If I set the display to 640x480 using the Neomagic driver, display
is still wonky.
Have deleted two pages from the component palette - still no better (even at VGA resolution).
Given all the above - does it seem that the Card/driver is actually faulty, rather than just not quite up to it?
Stacey Verner suggested putting BusThrottle = 0 into either win.ini
or system.ini. in a video/graphics section
Does anyone have any comment on this? Neither of these files on my
machine have a [video] or [graphics] section.
I have copied some of the commentary from this thread to Dell support to see if they can help. Of course their first question was "Is it only Delphi that is causing the problem?". And of course the answer had to be "Yes".
Thanks again for everyone's help
Mark
