Compton's latest version 2.01WV is giving me fits: with a 486slc/66 and a
DX33 Intel, the backround when running a video is partially trashed (not
the video itself), and the backround for animations is esssentially trashed
the same way.  Three different video accelerator cards have been tried, at
640x480/256, 65K, and 16M color settings.  At the 640x480/65K setting,
there are no animations visible at all. Diamond, STB and a generic Cardex
video card yielded the same results.  I moved everything from an Alaris
486slc/66 (prone to lockups and crashes) to a new DX33, with no change in
the video problem.  The multimedia system is the Memphis, from MediaVision.
Quicken's Wall Street Video plays fine.  Has anyone been grappling with
this problem?  STB's Tech Support was cooperative, but ineffective. 
MediaVision repeated sections of the manual to me.  Compton's Tech Support
is vapor-I couldn't reach a human after trying for two hours.
