This article was previously published under Q70466

SYMPTOMS

You may experience video display problems when you run Microsoft Windows version 3.0 on an Epson 286 or 386SX laptop. Windows may appear to extend past the boundaries of the monitor. This problem usually occurs when you use the built-in LCD display, but may also occur if you are connected to an external EGA or VGA monitor.

RESOLUTION

Epson has a Windows video device driver, called LTWIN.DRV, that corrects this problem. This device driver is available from Epson dealers or the Epson technical support bulletin board service (BBS).

This driver is only for the LT386SX machine. It is used to correct display problems with Windows 386, Windows 3.0, and OS/2 version 1.1. The driver is available on CompuServe forums for Epson. The driver file is self- extracting and includes readme files.
