>>You might want to try the new beta driver that we have just released. The file name for the VLB ios VVL210.exe.<< Seemed like a good idea. I took them home and tried installing them. Didn't seem to be a good idea. I forget why off hand. But I didn't feel like wrestling with it any, so I just axed it and reverted. Maybe later this week I'll have some patience. But then, maybe not. I've downloaded the drivers over in the Win95 forum, and since that is what my system is doing right now… I had to move Win3.1 over and it wouldn't run right now, I don't really want to mess with that, just to test betas. I think I'll wait on it for now maybe. >>I am not aware of DOS box problems with the VLB version of the Viper. What exactly are, the problems you are having with them?<< I forget when it happened. Didn't used to be a problem for me at all. Then (no doubt, after some forgotten change, and some drastic ones have happened) all of a sudden, my DOS boxes stop. And that is literally. Big black screen with no cursor and no response from the system to my inputs. It really likes it then, if I press the reset button. It's a given now: run a dos box, reset computer. It might have been when I downloaded the newest Windows drivers from here and tried to get them running. It might not have been. I'm pretty clueless as to what I might diddle with in order to try to fix it. It's been a bad .5 year for my computer and I, so I'm pretty much on very frayed thread. Thanks – gruhn
