I upgraded my video to VGA, and now DeskMate refuses to run. What do I do?
You need to get the DeskMate VGA driver. The driver is either DMVDVGA.RES (for DeskMate 3.00 to 3.02) or DMVSVGA.RES (for DeskMate 3.03 or later). For DeskMate 3.05, you also need DMVEVGA.RES for font support. You can get a copy from the Tvdog site (see section IV.B.1.). Note: DMVSVGA does not mean it’s for SVGA; all the video drivers for DM 3.03 or later are DMVS*.RES. There is no SVGA driver for DeskMate (the VGA driver will of course work). You might actually have the video driver you need under another name, if you have any third-party applications for DeskMate. Most (if not all) third-party DeskMate applications came with a DOS runtime version that includes all the video drivers, but runtime versions 3.02 and earlier use different names for resources – resource.RRS instead of resource.RES. The runtime video resources are the same as the DeskMate resources and will work under DeskMate 3.02 or earlier if you change their names. In the meantime note the following. By default, DeskMat
