I've just recently upgraded to win95 and have a few questions about running 3ds: 1) If I run 3ds under win95 3ds appears to run properly but the interface displays incorrectly, what is normally grey or blue becomes black and text gets dialog boxes are just text and border color. My question is do the vibrant drivers function under win95? 2) The alternate method is to run 3ds under dos mode, in this case 3ds runs and displays fine but dos mode does not set up my network drivers so 3ds can't see any network drives. I can't find away to manually get on the network, win95 uses its own network drivers and my old Novell netware doesn't seem to function anymore. I read a few tips posted in the library that suggests the way to get around this is to custom install win95 using my Novell drivers. Is this the only way? I'd also like to solve the vibrant display problem and be able to run 3ds from win95 and not always have to go to dos mode. Any suggestions?

Kenneth, WIN95 is an untested and unsupported environment. However, several people have reported getting 3DS to work under it. As far as Vibrant, in WIN95, I have no idea whether the Vibrant drivers would work. You might try the VGA or VESA selections. In a true DOS mode, the Vibrant drivers work fine. I have no idea why you would not be able to see your network drives. If others have set this up, they might log in and tell you their experiences. -Brian
