#Upgrade Problems
A few things experienced upgrading from a 486DX2 to a Pentium 90:
3DS3 will give the error message "xmsg_rd: 6 error loading message
33.9 from compiled message file" The fix? Deturbo when installing
3DS3–the question: will I have any other difficulties due to the
speed of the CPU (I didn't get a Pentium to run the cpu at 1/2
speed)? The other difficulty is in getting the Viper PCI card to
operate from the Vesa compatible drivers supplied with 3DS3; I get
another error message. I have searched the Diamond documentation; I
can't even be sure that the 3DS3 supplied driver "Viper P9000" is the
correct one for this video board. (Diamond did supply a driver for
3DS2-it doesn't do much for me with 3DS3)–Has anyone out there run
into this before? I do not want to "settle for" the Diamond 'vprmode
vesa' command; I want at least what I used to be able to get with my
simple Tseng ET4000–fair color, reasonable number of resolution
selections. With "vprmode vesa", I am getting mediocre results from
a card that promises more. It's late, I'm getting frustrated. (if
you'd ever done a motherboard replacement with a P90, you'd
understand) Please help! Desperate!
