Hi Jim. I'm having a problem with a program I have for the Mac. The program is Links Pro and my set up is an A4000 with 12 Meg of ram, the original 120 Meg HD, a 250 Meg HD, and a removable syquest drive. I cannot play the game because the graphics do not seem to refresh correctly. The animation of the golfer cannot been seen and the power meter that shows how hard the ball is being hit does not update. Many times I have to move the pointer back and forth over the screen just to get the screen to update. I know that a graphics board enhances the graphics with the Mac emulation but is there no other way to correct the problem I'm having? Do I have to purchase a graphics board to play Links? And, if there is no other way to correct this problem, other than the graphics board, will the 486 emulation have the same problem? Thanks, -=Andrew=-

What video driver are you using? Sounds like you are using one of the QD video drivers and the game is drawing to the display hardware directly. If this is the case, just use the normal video driver.

I've tried using both AGA driver, QD and normal. Did I select them right? I go to the Video driver screen, click on the applicable driver from the list on the left, then double click on the driver in the right window. -=Andrew=-

There is no need to double-click on the driver once it is in the right-side window (although it won't hurt anything).
