On a Compuadd 316 SL Laptop computer, when you operate an MS-DOS
application under Microsoft Windows 3.0, 3.0a or 3.1 in 386 enhanced
mode and you exit the MS-DOS application, the display screen splits
and the machine locks up.
CAUSE
The Compuadd 316 SL Laptop requires the VDDDRAG.386 device driver to
run Windows 3.0, 3.0a, or 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode. All new models of
the 316 SL are shipped with this driver, as well as Windows 3.0, 3.0a
or 3.1, installed.
WORKAROUND
To verify that the VDDDRAG.386 driver has been installed, check the
Windows SYSTEM.INI file [386Enh] section for the following device
line:
device=vdddrag.386
The driver was shipped on a supplementary disk with some older
models of the 316 SL. The VDDDRAG.386 device driver may be obtained
from Compuadd technical support at (800) 999-9901 or downloaded
from the Compuadd BBS at (512) 250-3226. The file to download is
316SLDRV.ZIP.
MORE INFORMATION
The 316 SL is equipped with a screen saving device that is dependent
on the BIOS of the keyboard. The saver is not compatible with Windows
and should be disabled before running Windows. To disable the screen
saver, from the MS-DOS prompt press CTRL+LEFT SHIFT+L. This sequence
toggles the screen saver function on and off.
