<<James, before you do anything else, delete the 3dadi.cfg file and try the VIBCFG thing again. Make sure you use Vibrant's Diamond VIPER P9000 driver, and not the other, generic P9000 driver! The "screen commpression" you describe sure sounds like some sort of hardware/monitor timing incompatibility. You can easily change scan rate timings by using the Viper's VPRMODE.EXE and the Custom Monitor settings. Set all displays to their lowest scan rate and try 3DS each time. If you have the docs to your monitor, you should be able to match the scan rates straight-away.>> So I did this and at first it didn't work. I wanted to set my MAIN-DISPLAY for 640x480x256, but it was either 640x480x16 or 800x600x65000. It wouldn't let anything in between without the compression. So I stuck with the 800×600. Very small fonts! The same for MATERIALS, although that's not as big a deal. The RENDER works as before. I guess since I set my VPRMODE to 800x600x65000, that's the only res. I'm going to get. I wonder if I set both 640x480x256 and the above, I wonder if that would cover both… Is there any draw backs to running the MAIN-DISPLAY at 800x600x65000, memory wise? It seems to redraw quicker, but everything looks so small. Maybe it's just an adjustment. Anyway, I can work now, and that's what's important. Thanks very much for the help! James
