Known Problems with Windows 95
The following problems may occur in certain configurations of Windows 95:
Some top windows may leave traces around themselves when they become hidden. This problem seems to arise from some video driver configurations (see, in the Windows 95 online documentation, the notes about KB Windows 95, "ATI Mach 64 Display Adapter Produces Garbled Screen," PSS-ID Q134487, 21 Aug 1995).A possible workaround to avoid this problem is:
1. Select "System" from the "Setting" menu. The "System Properties" configuration panel appears.
2. Choose the "Performance" Tab.
3. Click the "Graphics..." button. The "Advanced Graphics Settings" panel appears.
4. Move the "Hardware Acceleration" slider to a lower value. This slider indicates the performance level of the video driver, from None to Full.
Programs seem to be locked when they try to read a CD-ROM drive that has no CD inside. The system should display a modal error box, as on other Windows platforms, but it does not (even though it waits for an answer). The workaround is to put a CD in the drive, even after the system is locked. Programs built with Borland C++ may crash when Windows Plus is installed (it is pointed out in the Borland 5.0 installation notice). It seems to occur during the use of iostream and floating point operations. Deactivate the Windows Plus Agent to run Views applications, or get the patches for Windows Plus from the Microsoft Network, or on the Microsoft anonymous server (ftp.microsoft.com), in softlib/mslfiles, get the file called plusupd1.exe.
