  • Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1

This article describes the following two problems you may encounter if you have a Video 7 VRAM II video adapter:

  • Red or Green Vertical Lines
  • Mouse Disappears at Right Side of Screen

Red or Green Vertical Lines

If you switch from full screen to a window from command prompt, red and green lines appear on the screen. This is caused by dip switch settings and can be resolved by setting all switches to off, except switch number three.

Mouse Disappears at Right Side of Screen

The mouse pointer disappears four pixels from the right of the screen. This is caused by a hardware problem in the video adapter's implementation of a hardware cursor. There is no solution to this problem.
