Well, I have FS 3.0 and I just bought a VGA adapter. I was very
disappointed to realize that my FS 3.0 supports only VGA 640*350
in 16 colors. That is, no better than EGA. I went to my local
software shop and asked them about FS 4.0 and they told me it still
had no VGA support at 640*480. So what's the deal? Is there really
such a driver? Can you get drivers from MS? I'd rather just get a
driver update than buy FS 4.0 since I'm quite happy otherwise with FS
3.0.
