You and I have a very similar problem. I also have upgraded to NT 3.5 from
3.1. I can't get the drivers for 3.1 to work with 3.5. I've down loaded the
upgrade drivers for viper from Diamonds BBS. NT 3.5 won't accept/recognize
this upgrade either. A dialogue box opens stating the software is a "…down
level." I've gotten it to prompt for a reboot only to discover that after the
reboot it didn't hold the resolution option that I had selected. I notice you
indicate that your screen goes black. I couldn't locate the WEITECKP9.SYS
files on the NT 3.5 cd. Does your driver card option show the VIPER VLB
selection? Are you prompted for a driver drive? This is where I am unable to
direct it to the correct drive where the WEITECKP9.SYS resides. I've put out
some request for assistance in the WUGNET and MS WINDOW forms. I recieved a
responce in WUGNET. He doesn't believe the VIPER drivers were provided with
this release but is lead to believe that they are going to be released with the
first "maintenance release."
I can get 800 X 600 if I select VGA during startup.
If you discover anything more elsewhere please keep me posted.
