#ANi and Thinkpad
4 messages in this thread
Help. We are trying to load Animator Pro v(latest?) on an IBM Thinkpad
750c. Black screen of death after typing ANI. Any suggestions.
It's the video driver. Check and see if there is a VESA driver for
the LCD display. If there is, load it befor running ANI Pro. You
might try some fo the other video drivers, but i'm not betting on it.
Bob (Robert M. Watson),
Hate to disagree <g>, but Ani Pro boots in 320 x 200 VGA mode the
first time it is initialized (or anytime it is initialized from a
directory that does not include an aa.cfg file). After that, you can
have it boot into SVGA mode via a VESA driver.
Other Bob (Bob Need),
I would suspect memory management, or a compatibility problem with the
Think Pad in 320 x 200 mode. Simplest solution, clean the memory
management out (how many times have we heard this on from AutoDesk
guys?<BG>) and see what happens. I'll be back-up tomorrow night, let
me know what happens!
Hope it works,
Chuck
ah yes,
try _not_ running EMM386 in your config.sys (or using the command line option
to give it at least 4 MB).
