Your problems are nothing compared to mine!  Can some kind soul 
come to our rescure?

I've also got an Orchid Pro II card.  If I try to run Windows 3.0
(Standard Mode) inside Desqview, here's what happens:

The application runs fine.  No problem...

But when I hit ALT to switch back to Desqview for a second, I lose
the mouse entirely, the background becomes Window's previous 
background, sometimes my keyboard locks up, the Desqview window
becomes completely black wherever I cursor up or down, and if
I can manage to get back into Windows I end up with a completely
garbled screen--or I have an extra mouse cursor and several places
on the screen are switched around which I can only correct by 
bringing up other windows to color them back in correctly (similar
to what was described above).

I've talked to Quarterdeck's rep on the phone for an hour--no help.

Can Windows REALLY be run inside Desqview?  Not on my computer!

Here's my config.:

386-33 (Micronics MB)
latest version of QEMM and Desqview 386
Microsoft mouse
I've tried every imaginable config.sys arrangement.  Nothing works.
I've tried QEMM with ROM and without ROM parameter.  I've tried
running Windows with both the w3-load.com and win.exe /s.
I've tried everything....   help!
