Hi there, I've just joined this forum, mainly to solve a problem that has appeared upon upgrading to AniPro 1.3. I have a Farenheit 1280 card with their VESA drivers, and what once worked great in AniPro 1.whatever the earlier release was has now stopped working. I cannot run in any mode but 320×200. This is, of course, a major problem. Anyone got any ideas? It seems that Autodesk is not supporting most of the "popular" SVGA cards out there (no ATI support, no Farenheit support, etc) so I wonder what most of you are using. Everybody got Targa boards????? Help, this upgrade cost a fortune, and I can't use it!!!!!! (At least for anything useful<G>)

I'm sorry that you are having troubles with the Fahrenheit card and your AAPro 1.3 upgrade. I have heard other reports about problems that AAPro 1.3 encounters that weren't problems with AAPro 1.0. We'd appreciate customer/dealer comments about which cards fall into this category. I spoke to a dealer about a few weeks back who said he had several customers with this problem, and assumed that we knew about it. At that time we didn't know there might be a problem with AAPro, although at the time we were trying to help a customer who reported this. At this moment, we don't have a solution, other than to ask you to check out Vibrant Graphics or Panacea. (Hopefully Jack Bayt or Jake Richter will have some comments on the reports about AAPro 1.3.) Thanks for your patience, and help resolving this. Nik
