   Alas, we still don't know what you are doing.  Skipping lines could be   
   at the head (start of stream), tail (end of stream), or within the   
   stream.  We don't know if you are redirecting or piping a program's   
   output or using command-line args to more.com to specify a file.     
      
   I don't see how anything video card related would affect the content of   
   a stdout or stderr stream.  Those don't even require video.  Those are   
   data streams, not video streams.  I don't even need a video card   
   connected to a monitor for more, type, Notepad, or any other program to   
   work correctly.  Me not seeing it does not equate to the program not   
   producing expected results.   
      
   What are you running?  What is the command?  Are you running it in a   
   console (command shell, cmd.exe) so the console remains after the   
   program ends?  Does "skipping" mean you don't see the lines on the   
   screen or that they are truncated in the console window?  Does the   
   console's window have scrolling enabled?  If so, does scrolling still   
   have the missing lines?  is the console's window partially offscreen?     
      
   Have you yet tried booting into Windows' safe mode to make sure   
   something you load on startup and login are not affecting however you   
   are trying to view output from more.com?   
      
   Have you tried "more.com file > otherfile & notepad otherfile" to see if   
   all the lines are there when viewing the stdout stream in Notepad   
   (instead of on the screen within the console window)?
