Ginny, I also just installed a Diamond Stealth V-RAM video card into my 486/33 and experienced precisely the same inability you describe in seeking to run Animator Pro at 640×480 resolution. I called Diamond tech support and was told that I need a free BIOS upgrade for my "new" Stealth card, which they promised to send immediately. Diamond has not only turned out a number of BIOS upgrades in the past month or two, but they've moved several generations beyond even the latest "beta" drivers on their own BBS (from Beta 1.11 to 2.4 or something like that). I'm led to believe that the new BIOS alone may be enough to achieve VESA compatibility with Animator Pro. It seems rather surprising to receive a brand new card so recently released and discover its already a few generations old. Here's hoping that the promised BIOS update does the trick… Lee
