The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft CodeView for MS-DOS, versions 2.2, 3.0, 3.11, 3.14, 4.0, 4.01, 4.05, and 4.1
  • Microsoft CodeView for OS/2, versions 2.2, 3.0, 3.11, 3.12, and 3.5

CodeView does not allow you to specify which video page it will use. As a result, any application that uses video page one conflicts with CodeView and the screen becomes corrupted.

To avoid such conflicts, use the two-monitor option for CodeView (cv /2). This option allows CodeView to send the application's output to one screen while using the first screen for its own output.

Otherwise, simply avoid the use of video page one in programs that will be debugged under CodeView.
