Multiplan 1.2 and PCjr Getting Graphics Garbage PSS ID Number: Q20803 Article last modified on 03-28-1988 PSS database name: D_MPlan

1.2

MS-DOS

Summary: The PCjr may display graphics garbage on the screen and/or lock up the system. This occurs in Multiplan 1.2 when the PCjr runs out of video memory. It is common with a file of about 20-25K. In Multiplan 1.2 only, increasing video memory to 32K resolves this problem (the PCjr defaults to 16K for video memory). If you have Microsoft’s Booster Board installed, you can add extra video memory by adding a switch to the Memory line in CONFIG.SYS. The line should read something such as DEVICE MEMORY.SYS/S:0/V:32. This is not a Multiplan problem. Refer to your PCjr operator’s manual or your memory expansion card manual for instructions on how to set video memory if you do not have the Microsoft Booster Board.
