In the 800x600 and 1024x768 resolutions, the screen image is not displayed correctly on a CRT screen when the screen is panned to the bottom of the display and the user switches the display from LCD to CRT. The Windows driver uses the Check_Cursor and Move_Cursor routines to adjust the screen for panning. There is no routine similar to Check_Cursor in Windows NT. This limitation is caused by the absence of Check_Cursor routine in Windows NT. This problem is fixed as soon as the user touches the mouse pointer. 2. When any of the selections in the "CURSORS" Applet from the Control Panel is chosen, the cursor becomes a software cursor and hence there is no panning. This is a limitation of the software cursor in Windows NT. CHIPS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATIONDownload Driver Pack
