SUMMARY
After installing Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 onto a CompuAdd 325TFX or 325NX laptop, you may experience a problem running MS-DOS-based applications such as the MS-DOS Prompt.

According to CompuAdd technical support, you can work around this problem by installing Windows 3.1 for the VGA (version 3.0) display driver.

MORE INFORMATION
After installing or upgrading to Windows version 3.1's standard VGA video driver, you may experience a problem when running MS-DOS-based applications, where the screen on the 325NX displays a reversed black video and lock or hang, and the 352TFX does the same thing, but with a reversed white screen.

This situation may be corrected by installing the VGA (version 3.0) driver available in Setup. Do the following:


 * 1) Exit Windows and change to the WINDOWS directory.
 * 2) Type setup and press ENTER.
 * 3) Select the Display option and press ENTER.
 * 4) Select the VGA (version 3.0) display option and press ENTER.
