Doug, >>RCPADI for 3ds2 with r3… I could only get it to work with the built-in Vibrant drivers. I never could get the RDP, RCP, VISTA, or even VGA drivers to work with Windows. This was confirmed by Yost & company – use the Vibrant drivers if at all. That said, it sounds like the "Out of Environment" error message is a more basic problem. Are you firing up 3DS from a batch file in the PIF that has some SET statements, etc? Did you try increasing your environment space from DOS at boot time with the SHELL command in CONFIG.SYS? We should try to figure out why the Vibrant drivers won't work. What exactly isn't working? JKJ

Interesting. I can only get 3ds and Windows to work _without_ the Vibrant drivers. I have a special alternate 3ds.set file that uses the built-in VGA driver when I want to run from Windows. – Jack

I am not sure why the vibrant drivers don't work, I get a video graphics error. I'll write it down and let you know what the error is. Is there something I have to do to get the vibrant drivers working with the diamond speedstar? I'll try increasing the environment with shell. I also got a message to try running the set statements before starting windows. I'll try it all (G). It is not vital, as I have no problem running 3ds3 in DOS, but it would be nice to do some simple things in windows. Thanks for your help. Doug

Doug, Did you run the Vibrant configuration program?: 3DS VIBCFG
