[SeaBIOS] [HELP] The program cause screen mess

[eJim Lee]

Hi kevin:
If you want to repeat the bug, you can try:
1. Go to "Control panel->Regional and Language
Options->Advanced->Language for non-Unicode programs" and select
"Chinese (PRC)".
2. reboot
3. run wbc

I also tried the program on vmware and looked nice. But something
different with qemu about cursor:
On qemu with WinXP English: cursor is on screen but not on vmware.

Hope these information can help you.

Thanks!
eJim Lee
