Since installing Diamond Viper SE card have been unable to display Animator Pro. Have loaded VESA driver that worked on my previous (Genoa) card but no joy. Diamond has not responded to my request (on their BBS). Can't reach them on phone or fax either. They obviously don't provide any tech support….. Could someone tell me what drivers to load and from where to download ?Thanks- Rudy

Rudy, I'll assume you are using the Diamond Viper PRO SE/4MB PCI card, right? On my machine, simply booting up allows AApro to see the VESA mode of this card. Have you tried this yet? I really wouldn't recommend using any other VESA driver with this card. In previous Viper versions, you needed to run VPRMODE VESA to kick in the VESA mode of the card. It evidently is not needed with this one. If you want to try this method, go to your VIPERPRO directory and type VPROMODE VESA. Then just quit out of the program and try to run AApro. Let me know if this works for you. -Alan PS – I've always had consistently great response from the Diamond tech folks for years now. What number did you call?
