When starting up in full-screen mode, then going into window mode the
machine becomes offencive, from what I can tell, along the lines of::
QPC2:
CreatSurface(GetDesktopMode) failed
Error code: (and this I found particularly rude:) 887600e1.
Perhaps I DID click the OK rather hard by way of acknowledgement,
anyway, it went for me again with:
QPC2:
CreateSurface(Windowed mode primary) failed
Error code 887600e1.
I then got a huge black hole on the screen for my troubles, which swallowed
my mouse any time it ventured near it. More or less same phenomenon whether
QL- or full-colour modes used.

I started QPC up in QL-colour mode. The program that always obliterates QPC
in full-colour mode worked fine! but JMON 0 didnt get much further: instead
of nuking QPC, as it does in full-colour mode, it merely snuffs it real
quiet, like.
It may well be that my PC is screwed; I built it myself. I draged it
kicking and screaming into the 21st century, or so I thought, when I
installed W2k. It crashed every step of the way ! The full horrors of that
tale will never be told (cause then we might risk having to hear everyone
elses sordid little war-stories, so I mention it but in passing reference..
;) At present its all hanging together very sweetly, though I sometimes
feel my balls on the razor and it might be a real joy to get off and have a
big crash again! But on the other hand I think perhaps better not -`!?' So
if youre reading this Marcel, please save my bacon! I can live without
almost anything but JMON * What do you need to know, exactly?
