I am about to get Animation Pro and 3DS. But before I do, can you tell me if they work with the Diamond Viper video card (I've had problems with other DOS programs). I got a 3ds demo disk from my local dealer, but it does not work properly. The image is "broken up", and I have the VESA driver installed. Any ideas?

Hi Chuck I have been running 3ds on a Diamond Viper VLB 2MB for about a year with no problems. In fact, the drivers with release 3 work perfectly at all resolutions in all program modules. I have never had that before ! You will have to run VESA for Animator Pro, which is easy to do. Hope that helps Larry Hewitt

"The image is "broken up", and I have the VESA driver installed" I believe the Viper docs mention that compatibility problems might stem from the machine on which you've installed the viper. Make sure it's in the right slot, etc. As far as 3DS itself, the very recent PCI Viper was not supported when 3DS was released (I don't believe the PCI was out then) but is supported with the drivers within our file VIB3DS.ZIP in the ASOFT forum here. You should download that file if you have the PCI Viper. I don't know about the 3DS demo, or who to deal with on support. Sorry. Nik
