Well,….I hate to say it, but the 1806 error is back and this time
re-installing did NOT work. I am stuck in VESA (slow!) land again.
HELP!
Maybe we can track this down a bit – Does the Vibrant driver access
any part of the HIMEM/Bios-memory area that might be used by another
part of the system? I'm was using vanilla HIMEM.SYS and had just
changed the CMOS video cacheing to ON from OFF when the last lock-out
occurred. Now I've tried every conceviable combination of CMOS,
HIMEM, and EMM386 to get back in but to no avail. Any thoughts? Of
course the card is still working fine in all other apps at all other
resolutions – IT seems to be fine. Is there something on the card or
in the BIOS that the Vibrant driver accesses that other driver calls
wouldn't? Would SCSII addresses matter any??
Can you send me your 3DS.SET file again, along with your CONFIG.SYS
and your AUTOEXEC.BAT (zip them up and e-mail them). I'll see if
that will help any. Are you using VIBRANT in VESA mode, or are you
using the VESA driver?
