Hi Impulse, Just received 3.0, and I need some help. The program tells me that there are no Vesa modes available and that it is using the default of 320×200 at 256 colors. My video bd (Genoa 8500VL) is running windows at 800×600 with 64K colors. All my other programs auto detect the Vesa modes and will run at any resolution the card is capable of without any problems. How do I get Imagine to run at a screen mode of 800×600 and render at 640x 480 at 16.7M colors? My PC has 20 meg of ram but imagine tells me it has only 12meg available. This is with the config and auto exec files bypassed. Why doesn't it show the other 8 meg? Thanks Ralph Marbach

Your vesa card is not compliant with the standards, I dare say that you should get an updated vesa driver and all should be well. Mike
