MY 3D STUDIO DOESN'T RECOGNIZE MY DIAMOND VIPER VL 2MB, WHEN I USE DRIVER WITHIN THE PROGRAM I GET THE MASSAGE "ERROR # 1807 WEITEK 5186/5286 NOT FOUND" , THAT LED ME TO USE THE VESA MODE WHICH LIMITS MY COLORS TO ONLY 8-BIT, IT IS CRUCIAL TO USE 16 AND 24-BIT COLOR OF THE VIPER, PLEASE ADVISE ME.

Rafeek, There has been a significant amount of traffic here on the forum about this very subject. Let me summarize… The problem with the new vipers is related to a change in the base VGA circuitry, NOT the P9000 accelerator. VESA is your only option until Vibrant ships a pending update of the in-line drivers. I know it's not very good news, Chuck PS Just a hint, but please don't type in all caps as it looks like you ARE SHOUTING. (Maybe you are!)
