I use an old-favorite DOS-based CAD program, DesignCAD 2D. Works fine under Win98,
works fine on an older XP machine with SP3. But in my new Dell XP computer it launches
OK, seems to work OK, except...it crashes XP when I exit it, yielding the usual B
S o' D. I've tried Compatibility mode = Win 98 + various memory-allocation variations
to no avail. Also tried reducing hardware acceleration to no avail.
It appears the problem has to do with file igxpmp32.sys which is associated with
the Intel graphics driver used with their G33/G31 chipset. There exists an option
to disable that driver. I've thought to download another driver (win2k_xp1433.exe)
to see if using it might solve the problem. So my question here is: if I disable
it in order to try another, will have any display at all in the interim, and can
I get it back from whatever display I will have, in the interim? And, of course...is
there another way to get that DOS app to exit properly?
