Hello,

I have a graphical problem with using the WYSIWIG-mode in Lotus 123 V2.4. When I switch into the WYSIWYG-mode from the normal mode then colours get inverse (backround from black to white) and the cells seems to be empty. Working isn'n possible then.

I hope sombody can help me with this problem. Sry for my bad english... I hope you can imagine what's the problem.

Thanks

Andy

OS: Win XP Prof. Service Pack 2

DOSBox: 0.72 (I also tried it with 0.71 -> same problem)

Maybe try running loadfix before starting the app, and see if setting
xms and ems to false does any good.

Thank you... I tried both suggestions, but it does't work. There's still the same problem.

Wasn't there some site around with updates/compatibility fixes for
lotus suites? Anyways, why do you need that old version running?

I found a way to remedy it. This solution must be set every time, since the configuration is cancelled when leaving the program.

1) Enter WYSIWYG mode (":" key)
2) Go to Display-> Options-> Adapter-> Blink-> Yes
3) Go to Display-> Options-> Adapter-> Blink-> No
4) Go to Display-> Options-> Adapter-> 1 (VGA)

Probably, a macro that loads at the beginning will fix it.
