I've been running Window 7 64bit and Cadence SPB16.3 for 6months now. It's
been stable. However I was running my graphics at 16bit color mode because
of a trailing cursor issue using Allegro.
Then I recently checked the cadence forum and found the fix by adding a
simple variable.
*set infinite_cursor_bug_nt*
Now I am able to run my graphics at 32bit color.
Best,
-oscar
