PAR fuzzy with Diamond

Sb: PAR fuzzy with Diamond
Fm: Michele Bousquet 100237,162
Greggy, Just thought I'd fire this one your way, seeing as you know *everything*. I just got a new Pentium 90 (thank you, thank you) with 32MB RAM, a 1.2 gig boot drive just for fun, a Diamond Speedstar 64 PCI and one of the Seagates that works with the PAR. I also got a PAR and a TBC. Okay so far. According to the DOS prompts, the PAR finds the Seagate no problem. When I load the PAR software all the intro stuff comes up okay (loading mouse etc.). Then the problems begin. When the main PAR screen comes up it looks okay for a few seconds, then I get vertical cyan lines all over the screen and the fonts go all fuzzy. The PAR interface screen is barely visible through all this, just enough for me to hit Quit. I ran PARTEST and the same thing happened! The fonts go all funny, like I need glasses (which I already have on). I suspect the Diamond card, but I'm not sure how to test this. Any ideas? Michele
