SYMPTOMS
If you have selected a video resolution that provides 256 colors, you may notice that scrolling in the Command Prompt is very slow.



CAUSE
Certain super VGA chip sets do not implement planar mode, which is used by the display driver to manipulate console memory quickly. Therefore, you may experience this problem if you use any of the following drivers:

Qvision

Western Digital/Paradise

Trident

Compaq AVGA



RESOLUTION
There is no work around for this problem because the hardware does not support the necessary functionality.
