Hello NET!

My name is Tony Cherry and I just bought a Gateway 386-25 machine.  Everything
is great except for some video compatability problems.  The machine uses a 
Diamond Speedstar SVGA card with 1 meg video ram.  Everything works great
with programs--like Windows--for which Gateway provided drivers.  It supports
resolutions up through 1024x768x256.  The problem is with Deluxe Paint II.
It gives a short list of video card choices, of which the Speedstar is not one.
Therefore, I can only do 640x480x16, no matter which of the cards I choose
from the menu.  DP II always says that my video card does not have 512k video
ram, but it clearly has 1meg.  I would appreciate any info on adding drivers
to DP II or Speedstar compatability with other cards.

Thanks to anyone who can offer assistance.

Please email to  arc@reef.cis.ufl.edu

Seeeee Yaaaaaa
