In fact, it is not a problem with the drivers, but rather with the VDD. The problem only occurs when trying to return from a full-screen non-windows app to the graphics environment in enhanced mode. If you're not trying to do this, you won't see any problem. >The "files missing" seems to be a complaint some people >have about not being able to locate the .GRB files for some reason. I >used those supplied with WIN3 without a problem. The files which come with Windows are the correct ones to use. The problem might be that Windows isn't installing the necessary files when the user uses the Windows Setup program and specifies the standard VGA option. Either reinstalling it as the "Video Seven VGA with 512K" (even if it's a VEGA VGA, or a 256K FastWrite), and then installing the drivers, or by using "expand" to get the files off the disk, should work fine. (The next driver release should include all the necessary files, instead of making you get them off the Windows disks.) -- Jim Seidman (Drax), the accidental engineer.
