Happy rainy West Coast Saturday…. We are trying to load AniPro on a 386 clone computer with a Trident graphics SVGA card w/ 512Kb VRAM. AniPro won't recognize it. We are running a vanilla Config.sys and Autoexec.bat and loading the newer Vesa driver (dl'd from Lib9) from the DOS prompt. Each time the screen does something different – variations on grunge or reverts to 320 x 200 rez – but no error messages. Just got the video BIOS data: date 22 May/89, Model C3-129. Its OEM on a brand X board. Any ideas – or am I off to Brad at Panacea? Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks in advance for advice. Ed Lyons Animedia Vision Inc.

Rain? Did someone say RAIN? Uh, it might've drizzeled about .001" worth last night, but that was about it. I'm sorry, but I've got no idea what could be causing your hardware problem. Good luck though! – G

Ed, I got my VESA driver for a Trident 8900 from the Trident BBS. Try it. Mike
