System Editor not working quite right (OpenInsight Specific)

There are two things that been plaguing my OI. And they persisted from v2.6 to v3.x; and from Win3.1 to Win95. I somehow feel that they are related.
1. The System Editor works normally ecept when I use the Find/Find next. If the string I'm looking for is on the screen already, the cursor will go there and highlight it. But if its outside of the screen, then nothing happens. I have to page down or page right to find it. On other computer I worked with, the screen will go to where the new cursor position is. Incidentally, when I scroll right, the new code that come into sight will have periods (.) and commas missing.
2. When I use the Report Writer, the system freezes if I save or preview the report.
Is the cause of my problem related to some out-dated driver that is loaded on the system?
My computer is vintage 95 Pentinum 60. I recently replaced the monitor and video card (for other reason), but the problem persisted.

I didn't understand the second part. The first part is related to a video driver bug related to scrolling the text; we usually see it with S3 drivers. It is related to a window style (no hide sel) … but that is all I know.

What version? You said "3.x" … are you a member of the Works? If so please make a copy of your system and upgrade to 3.61 to see if the problem has been resolved. If not, please call us and order the Works … (800)262-4747 in the US.
The behavior you describe is not typical unless you are running an old version of OpenInsight on Windows NT.
