>>I have a 486DX2 computer with 16megs of RAM and a Diamond Viper VLB. My computer basically refuses to playback 640×480 res FLICS. It will only playback 320×200 FLICS; within 3DS, under DOS-based AAPLAY, with AAWIN in small window mode only (not full screen). Under windows, using AAWIN.ZIP it will only playback 7 of the 14 640×480 FLICS that are on the world creating toolkit CD. The remaining 7 crap out with the following message: "AAWIN caused a General Protection Fault in module VIPER_32.DR at 0001:6B0E" When I render my own hires flics, it refuses to play them as well. Within 3DS it refuses to play hires flics all together. With the VIPER I use the Panacea driver. I have tried to use the standard 256 color VGA driver that comes with 3DS without success. I get the "Protection Fault" routine with any VIPER Windows driver setup (8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit). The Animator Pro Windows hires player will not work at all!<< Hello and sorry for the delayed response. We just switched from DOSCIM to WINCIM and your message got "foldered". The VIPER as you have found out has BIG problems with Autodesk Animations. Diamond knows this and is working on new drivers. I don't know where they are located here online. I would call them directly and ask if they can send you updated drivers. Thanks Let me know if you can't get through, we have contacts there. Jon Swift HSC Software
