Dan, >>FWIW, I have been getting Nautilus for some months now and have not had any problems until the June disk.<< >>I have a Stealth VRAM. When using the Stealth drivers I get a fatal error. This error occurs nowhere else. When I switch to the regular old VGA drivers, I do not get an error.<< I have been on vacation and must have missed the specifics on the fatal error you now get with the Stealth video drivers. I have the same card and am using version 2.0 of the drivers in 1024x768x256. I do have some problems with all the new stuff in the June issue but I can run it without fatal errors and nothing that I do have a problem with points to the stealth drivers. So if you don't mind, what specific driver do you use with the Stealth and exactly what happens to you? Like you I have been getting Nautilus for several months. >>Diamond says they "are aware of the error." Someone I don't get a warm, fuzzy feeling that there is going to be a solution coming anytime soon.<< You are correct in the above IMO. They have not released new drivers for the Stealth since late last September (I did read about some beta ones a while ago but don't know if these were ever released and no longer care). Shortly after the release of these drivers, which were the first useable ones for Windows 3.1, Print Shop Deluxe for Windows was released and the drivers were broken again. Broderbund finally released a patch to their program even though the problem is definitely video driver related. Anyway the reason I no longer care is that I am anxiously awaiting the ISA version of the Hercules Graphite Pro to ship. I hope to be rid of the Stealth for once and for all in a few weeks or less and have no intention of going anywhere near Diamond anytime soon. Linda
