Windows Xtra Problems and PB3.5 IDE

[keith shelton]

I just discovered that when I use the IDE for PB 3.5 on a machine
running Win XP home; that the cursor doesn't advance from column
63 to 64. I am sure that this is a Windows problem; but I was
wondering if anybody else had observed this.

Tried this on my new home machine, with Win XP Home. While I am less
than delighted by the OS itself, I have seen no problems with using
PB/CC or PB/Win on it. Maybe a video driver issue? Try setting the
advanced video properties to "no acceleration" and see if that works--
usually, this will take care of bad driver problems. And, even some
brand-name video cards have this sort of error. "Diamond" cards are
somewhat notorious for "got a bug... still got a bug... still, still
got a bug... oops, sorry, the card is obsolete: buy something else."
They've whacked me twice this way in the last 15 years, shame on me.

I tried the latest video driver to no avail. I personally think
it is the computer itself. This is the first one I have ever ordered
pre-built from a large company, Tiger Direct, and I have had many
problems with XP home. The system locks up at least once a day.
Like I say it's got to be the hardware.
