Hello, A friend has loaned me Ani Pro so I can use it, before buying it from him – just to make sure. It's version 1.3. I have a Diamond Viper VLB (P9000) video accelerator. But I can't figure out how to configure Ani Pro to SuperVGA. Can anyone help? Thanks James

Just run the <vprmode vesa> driver, James, and AAP should be fine. -Alan

Greetings James Besides running the vprmode vesa driver, in your autoexec.bat make sure you "rem" the vpr bios, Animator Pro doesn't like it. Barry

What do you mean by "rem the vpr bios", Barry? AAP has no problems with my system and I don't "rem" anything. However, I DO exclude (using QEMM) the memory address used by the Viper, A000-C7FF. AAP "likes" the Viper bios just fine. -Alan Iglesias

Alan It so happens that when I leave the C:\VIPER\VPRBIOS line in my autoexec.bat Ani Pro will not load the VESA driver, but when I type rem at the front of that line and reboot, ANI PRO loads, what can I say, it works for me. Barry

<<Besides running the vprmode vesa driver, in your autoexec.bat make sure you "rem" the vpr bios, Animator Pro doesn't like it.>> Thanks Barry, I'm not at my regular workstation (big time crash – long story) so I can't check to see about 'vrp bios', but I can't remember off hand what that would be. In autoexec.bat I think all I have is path checks. Viper runs an .ini file when it is called into play… Although I could be wrong… <g>
