Hello everybody! I have two questions: 1. I have a HP Vectra 486 with an IGC-10 graphics controller. And I have some DGIS drivers (from HP), but I'm not able to get this combination run together with Windows 3.0. What happens is that after successful start of Windows I can do a few operations, but then every new displayd text is either invisible or pure chaos. I believe that this depends on configuration of the IGC-10 because I have the pure controller without any additional upgrade, and another station works fine (with some of the optional supplements, don't remember exactly which). Can anybody confirm this and tell me what I need to solve my problem ? 2. Am I with my first question in the right newsgroup, or should I post elsewhere? Thanks you for all comments (either in this group or by EMail). Franz-Josef Kaiser (kaiser@idtsun4.kfk.de)

On my 386 Vectra the IGC-10 card and Windows also worked poorly until I added DRAM to the IGC-10. After talking to technical types at HP's PC division it was confirmed that this memory is REQUIRED for the card to work with Windows. My memory was purchased "off the shelf" at a local electronics store and cost < $50. While I don't remember specifics, I think that I filled half of the available DRAM slots based on the specifications in the manual.
