I recently installed a Viper Pro w/4Meg Vram into a 486 VLB. When I adjust the resolution and the centering for DOS, whem I bring up 3DStudio the screen is off to one side. If I adjust so that the 3DS screen is centered, DOS is off. I can use the monitor adjustment knob to correct thei, and I've noticed nothing else wrong, but I would like to find out what would cause this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Dale

There should be an install, or setup, program that came with tthe card. With this program you should be able to adjust screen centering, horizontal and vertical frequencies, etc. You may want to play with these for the different screen resolutions. LAM

i've had the same problem with two or three different video cards, and the screen adjustments never seem to translate prefectly between windows, dos, and 3ds. i've basically learned to live with, and just readjust the monitor every time i go into 3ds.

My Nec 5FG has user presets and always displays centered full screen but it does so _only_ after I programmed it for the nonstandard resolutions. Hope this helps, sea ya! – Ernie Jackson, Written 03-Jun-1995 @ 12:40:24 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.62

thanks for the tip. i have an nec 3fgx, and i don't believe it is programmable in the fashion you described, but i could be wrong. anyway, i'll check it out. thanks.
