#problem w/ viper SE

Paul,
Are you sure you have the same card? The Diamond Viper SE w/4meg VRAM (PCI
version). If you're sure please tell me how you got this baby to work because
the 3DSR4 I just purchased doesn't seem to recognize the card when I run 3DS
VIBCFG. Thanks for your help.
Derek
I have the exact card DIAMOND VIPER SE w 4MEGS VRAM!! In fact I just installed
3DS4c1 and reran the VIBCFG and installed it with the VIPER PRO option and
everything is working just fine! My number is 602-979-5043 if you have any
further problems. I'll be here for awhile, it is HOCKEY NIGHT in ARIZONA… go
ROADRUNNERS!!
thanks Paul Boyd
Derek;
I have the Diamond Viper Pro PCI w/ 4mb, pretty much the same card. One thing
you have to do prior to trying to get the card to work in 3DS is install the
utilities that come with the card. Then use to video mode setup utility to
define the monitor and it's capabilities that you are using with the card. Once
you go through these steps it creates a *.dat file that 3DS needs to see in
order to work correctly with your card.
I hope this works, let me know.

thanks Zac,
The problem has been resolved! It seems that my motherboard incorporated the
OPTI chipset and has PCI, VLB and ISA slots. Both of which were a formula for
disaster. My new board has the INTEL chipset and PCI and EISA slots. This
combo works perfectly. It sure is nice to see the 3D editor in somthing other
than 640 x 480. Thanks again for the advice though.
