Hello, Hope you are the right man to help with this, if not, sorry to waste your time and could you possibly point me in right direction for help? Problem: Can only get 640×480 resolutions (in any number of colours) to work with either 3ds V.3 or V.4. All other screen sizes give 'double vision' scrannied screens. Need to run at least 800x600x256 to use certain Ipas routines with V.4. What am I doing wrong? Vibrant driver: 1.06.P4 Machine :P90 with 32Meg. Using Smartdrive. Graphics Card: Diamond Stealth 64 with 4 Meg RAM, PCI, Video Bios: Stealth 64, Vers 1.05 (08/4/94). Vesa support: 1.02 S3 Monitor: 17" Taxan ergovision 885LR. The Vibcfg says that it supports the Diamond Stealth, but only the 640×480 resolutions work. I get exactly the same problem with the Vesa settings, and RCPADI won't let me use a sensible font size as I have left the Materials editor at 640x480x16M (I don't want to run the rest of the program in 24bit colour and this is the only screen size I can get working) and I also don't need to render above 640×480. Is my problem the monitor ? I can get windows working in all resolutions. Please, any help would be most welcome. Yours, Nick
