#Stealth VRAM and Nautilu
3 messages in this thread
I finally got my Stealth VRAM to work — after months of trying.
Now I get a GPF in Nautilus — TBook GPF in S316.DRV at 0001:47E8. Sigh.
Any comments/suggestions?
When I switch back to my old boring VGA drivers, it works. (I know — Doctor,
it hurts when I lift my arm — well, don't life your arm; but I want to use my
exciting and much faster video drivers which access 32K of colors and
everything).

Hi Daniel! The problem you are experiencing in regard to a General Protection
Fault is caused by a conflict between ToolBook, Windows, and the video card
drivers. If an application performs correctly with one driver but doesn't with
another, it is highly likely that the problem is with the driver. Have you
updated the drivers recently? I understand that Diamond has recently released
Video Driver Version 2.0. We have learned that ToolBook makes more demands on a
display driver than virtually any other Windows program. You can contact
Diamond at 408-736-2000 or their BBS at 408-730-1100 to inquire about updated
drivers. Please let me know how this works for you and what happens. Thanks
for sending your message on CompuServe. We appreciate your support of Nautilus.

For what it's worth, I've tested many video cards in conjunction with a book I
wrote (Multimedia Madness), and Diamond's drivers were problematic more than
anyone else (including ATI). Those drivers could be the problem, and probably
are judging from the "s316.drv" portion of the GPF message.
