Hi Brad: your question to me: "Do you have a Compaq DX2-66? I seem to recall a Pharlap problem that's fixed with a patch to the Compaq driver. Let me know if you want me to find that thread." Thanks. I have a 50M. The documentation that comes with this machine talks about AutoCAD, that I should run the Compaq-supplied ACAD.COM, which launches Autodesk's ACAD.EXE. I did this, renamed my 3DS.EXE to ACAD.EXE, and it works. This appears to have the same effect as running the OLDDXARC, and downgrading the Phar Lap 2.6 to Phar Lap 2.2, which I had done on an earlier machine in order to follow the 3DS install directions about setting up the Weitek version on a COMPAQ. I've not solved the problem of the RCCPQADI.EXP driver not working with 3DS and my QVision card though… Nik

Nik, I don't have any good ideas on this on. If you want to try another driver, Nancy Moss over in product training has copies of our TurboDLD. I know she's been using them without any problems on Compaq systems with QVision boards. BTW, I'll get a copy of our AP TIGA driver sent your way as soon as I can find a copy of it.<g> Brad Ek [Panacea Inc.]

Thank you for your help, Brad. I'll check with Nancy Moss for TurboDLD when she gets back from Brazil (which I think is today!), and let you know how that worked out. Nik
