Brian: The message is as follows: —————————————————- Can't open screen with driver "C:\ani\resource\VESA.DRV" 640 x 480 mode 0 Video BIOS could not set up requested graphics mode Any key to continue> —————————————————— I got another reply that suggested I try the VESA32 driver in the graphics support forum. I downloaded this driver and it worked for the 640 x 480 mode, but not the 800 x 600 mode. Whattaya think? JC

The message definitely means that the video mode (or driver) is not able to be accessed by AAPRO for some reason. I have heard that Vibrant Graphics makes a driver specifically for that board, give them a call or drop them a line here on the forum. I have also heard that on some models of the 1280 Orchid can do a BIOS upgrade on the board itself. You might want to give them a call and explore that option. As far as VESA32 only being able to access 640×480, are you sure there is enough memory on the board for higher modes? Other 1280 people may be able to answer this question as well. -Brian
