Hi Don, havent been able to get new drivers and as hey say here's the story so
everyone can learn a lesson: 1rst my Nec 4FG monitor had a slight defect (a
horizontal line scrolled & there was an intermittent high pitched hum.) so
being 9 months old & under warranty I brought it to BULL systems who do
warranty work for NEC in Canada…they said Oh a day or two but when I went to
pick it up they said here's a new one.>>(Wrong…They had me back a
"refurbished" model that was older and also had a defect, so back it goes and I
have to get another one..That one now shows signs of a problem but I cannot
adjust it properly since no one at ATI has answered my questions about where is
the latest DLXpress version 2.16 driver & if my configuration drivers for the
ATI card are actually correct for my NEC monitor… I called the ATI BBS the
other nite and after downloading a file dated Jan 93 found out it was the same
driver package I already had (but dated Oct 92) So so smart fellow at ATI
changed the date on the file and people who want the upgrade download the wrong
package !! The drivers are not on the CIS library of ATI and two messages later
still no answer… GREAT SERVICE FOR A CANADIAN COMPANY GUYS !!!! So buyer
beware… On a positive note: When I contacted Vibrant Graphics yesterday and
mentioned the PHarLap error message I was given the following statement to
include in my batch file that starts 3D Studio.
SET DOSX=-SAVERGS Am told this helps to remove the Phar Lap
error message.. I'll try it out and see if it eliminates it.. I'll also let you
know how this story with ATI develops/ Regards, Bob Smith
