It is not that it is "trobulesome" with regards to UMBs, but that you hardly ever have so much room in UMBs to load it. DISPLAY allows you to have a maximum of 5 codepages prepared in memory to be changed, and that is a bit less than 64 KB. After loading, in the commandline you usually only make room for 1 or 2 codepages (last parameter): DISPLAY CON=(EGA,437,1) and you barely use 11KB, but you don't know beforehard, thus DOS needs to reserve the whole of 64 KB just in case. Most modern versions use XMS and take lesser convenctional memory. >> Isn't MODECON deprecated / unnecessary?? > Guess so, but that's what my entire help request is about. Confirmed.

Like 5 times per second instead of once every 2 seconds or so :( There's a similar bug filled into EDIT that I marked as "not reproduced", because I was never able to reproduce it, but I never tried CTMOUSE now that you mention it. So in the end it may end up being a CTMOUSE bug (or misconfiguration)?
