Brad, To update you on my status, Opta provided me with some new drivers; DLDTIGA.EXP 10-14-91 93645. Now what happens is the message still displays "80xx7 required but not present." Then I am returned to the dos prompt. This is an improvement since the machine doesn't lock up or display an error code, but your drivers still won't load. As I indicated before, I still suspect that your driver is not recognizing the weitek 3167 or will not work with a weitek. I would imagine it is the former rather than the latter, as most 3ds users would have a weitek. Thanks again for your continued help in resolving this. Randy

Randy, The message "80xx7 required but not present" is not being generated by our driver. DLD386-TIGA will work with or without a Weitek math coprocessor, and doesn't use any FPU instructions when driven by 3DS. I'm not sure who is generating that message, but it sounds to me like you think DLD386-TIGA is being used when it's really not. What have you set MAIN-DISPLAY and DEFAULT-DISPLAY to? What is the RCPADI environment variable set to? Brad Ek [Panacea Inc.]
