Problem

Symptoms: The computer locks when a customer on a network retrieves documents that show control codes. The customer installed a new monitor/card configuration for the Trident Super VGA card. This problem seemed only to start occurring after the customer installed the new card and monitor. This new monitor uses a FAST D mode. Solutions: The Trident Super VGA card uses a mode called "FAST D Code." Using the Fast D Code causes the card to write and use memory from A000-DFFF (Area Defined Above 640K). Normal video cards do not exceed CC00. The customer also has a network card with an I/O address of D000. With the VGA Card using A000-DFFF and the network card using an I/O address at D000, the VGA card would overwrite the area in which the network card was using as an I/O address. The customer contacted the manufacturer of the VGA card and set up the card in the Standard Interface (8-bit) mode. This causes the VGA card to use A000-CC00 instead of A000-DFFF. With this setting, the VGA card did not overlap with the network card.
