I've has the same problem and here is my analysis .... (dos graphics modes)
(banked mades)
* niel.e/niel2.e assumes all banked video windows to be at segment A000h.
This is not the case for all video adaptor manufactures wich means that
it's possible for niel.e/niel2.2 to output video data to an invalid video
window causing memory corruption.
(linear modes)
* If the mode-set is linear and you are running Win NT/2000/XP then you need
to get the "descriptor" for the "linear address" (after convertion from the
"physical base address") and set the "access rights" useing the DPMI functions
provided by Micheal Divore to allow access to ALL memory areas if your not
affraid to do this.
* This is why Euphoria has a "use_vesa()" function since not all video cards
have the same characteristics even though they may have the same VGA BIOS-
VESA extentions.
