RE: [DUG]: Cannot run Delphi 5 in Hi-Resolution

[Patrick Dunford]

As I recall, the specifics of the problem are how the drivers handle the video card's memory becoming full.   The most common problem that is seen is with icons (for example the VCL component icons). Over a certain number of icons they either start to draw funny, or your PC just locks up. You may find that you install a new component package and then the next time you run Delphi, your PC locks up.    To be able to run Delphi at all on my PC (S3 Virge) beyond a certain number of installed components, HW acceleration has to be set to None.    It affects Delphi more than MS applications because Borland used the API calls that MS said they should use, only to find that MS uses different calls in their programs :)  -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Matthews, Leon Sent: Friday, 13 July 2001 10:59 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: RE: [DUG]: Cannot run Delphi 5 in Hi-Resolution Its not a problem with Delphi Dedy, but a problem with your Video card / Drivers... As Patrick intimated, a lot of S3 video cards have trouble with the large number of image lists that the Delphi IDE uses.  I had to replace the onboard S3 on one of our machines with a Matrox because of this issue a few months ago...               -- Leon -----Original Message----- From: Dedy Darmayanto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 13 July 2001 10:48 To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Subject: Re: [DUG]: Cannot run Delphi 5 in Hi-Resolution Thank's Bob I have tried and the problem was solved But, why Delphi does not work with hardware graphic acceleration ?   Dedy,   ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Osborn To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2001 12:08 PM Subject: Re: [DUG]: Cannot run Delphi 5 in Hi-Resolution You may need to turn the graphics hardware acceleration off on your machine.  You do this from the control panel Display/Settings/Advanced/Performance.  I had similar problems on a particular machine with D4.     Bob  ----- Original Message ----- From: Dedy Darmayanto To: Multiple recipients of list delphi Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2001 1:57 PM Subject: [DUG]: Cannot run Delphi 5 in Hi-Resolution I have just installed Delphi-5 Enterprise in Win98 SE,   It was running well when I was set the resolution to 600x480 with 16 color.   But when the resolution changed to 800x600 with 65536 color, Delphi-5 cannot run also window was stopped.   Any body know what was happened in my Delphi or Windows   Regards, Dedy
