Ok, you can try VPAMM.EXE - within protected mode you can have more memory. You can also try to give more free memeory using EMM Boot settings.

VPA.EXE also runs in protected mode, so memory for VPA is not an issue. It's just that some graphics cards / mice work better with one version, others work better with the other one.

However, VPAMM.EXE will leave less memory for PVCR, so maybe that's an issue. (The difference between both is that VPAMM will load all code into conventional memory whereas VPA will load it into high memory, which is precisely what makes the difference for graphics and mice.) I still don't see how that could lead to VCRs played wrong, though.

Footnote: avoiding the technical complications of shelling out to a VCR program was the driving force behind me (reverse-engineering and) implementing VCR algorithms within PCC :smile:.
