Hello, I'm a new user of 3DS R4, and a former user of 3DS R2. My computer has a Diamond Viper VLB video card. WHen I bought the card, it came with some extra software called SoftEngine which included drivers for 3DS R1 and R2. Can anyone tell me where I can get drivers for R4??! Is diamond on CIS? I noticed in 3DS.SET the VESA lines, with a default mode of 63, but that doesn't work with my card. Please send your comments via email directly to 76364,554 as I'm not a regular on this forum. Thanks a WHOLE lot! Lance

Have you checked out the installation guide? Since R3, 3ds uses an inline driver system. At the 3ds prompt, type '3ds vibcfg', find your video card and set your resolutions. I recommend getting the latest version of the drivers from the forum here (1.0.6). do a keyword search on "vibrant" and they should turn up.
