Thank you Ed and Bob for your replies

I actually managed to make BC3.1 stable enough after changing all the memory
allowances to max, and setting win95 compatibility. The 640 x 480 resolution
solved the res. warning screen.

When i choose Turbo debugger in BC4.5 i get an error message saying:
Appication: TDW
An application has attempted to acces the keyboard or mouse hardware as a 16
bit Windows program which cannot  be supported. This may cause the
application to function incorrectly.
I click Ignore but nothing happens. Any ideas why this is happening ?

What i would like to do with a newer app is to step through the program in
graphical mode and here's where i would need that second screen for full
screen graphics as Bob wrote. The BC3.1 works perfectly with the two screen
graphics and i even use another screen in my app as a backbuffer for good
animation. So the hardware is still supported. I would like to know if there
is a C++ IDE that has a similar (MSDOS style) graphincal interface maybe
through DirectDraw.
