If they mean something in particular, that might well be true, but if they mean virtual screens in general, they're completely full of crap. I have a desktop machine where virtual screens work splendidly in Win 95. But that's likely because Matrox seems to take driver debugging and updating quite seriously. >They told me that, indeed, the Virtual Screen function does NOT work >under Win95.

At least, I hope so! Sounds like its just not a priority for them. Then again, I've learned that lots of things I would consider a priority just aren't in their view. ------- Randy Whittle rwhittle@usa.net USC Graduate School of Business http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.
