[comp.sys.hp] HP IGC-10 with Windows 3 in 486/33T Vectra

matikainen@cc.helsinki.fi (Esko Matikainen) (04/18/91)

I'm trying to install an HP IGC-10 graphics card in a Vectra 486/33T.
Everything seems to work alright except for Windows 3.0. The
installation goes through, but when Windows starts there are no
letters in the menus. I tried installation both with 8514 fonts and
with VGA fonts.

Also, when I start a DOS window under Windows, the background is not
black but contains whatever happened to be behind the window when it
appeared. It remains the same even if the window is moved, no redraw
inside the window.

Any experience with this, anybody? Local HP seems not to have it...

Do you have the latest IGC 10 Windows drivers. There is a new version
that supports 3.0. The earlier versions will NOT work with 3.0 because
of the differences between 3.0 and earlier versions of windows.
The most current versions are:
