It sounds as though you should be able to launch high res animations and play them successfully this way. However, you may have a problem that relates to the variety of video chipsets you've encountered and requested high res. If I understand correctly, you will need to have the customer's machine already VESA compliant. This is not something you can assume, since we get calls about this! VESA compliance may come from one of the 4 TSRs which we include, or perhaps the customer has a chipset not supported by our TSRs, so it'd be up to them to have the TSR already running. If it's a COMPAQ with a QVision card, you wouldn't require a TSR but instead could use the Sunburst driver. Tell me: if you reduce your animations to 320×200, does this eliminate the problem? Nik
