I have Cshow ver 8.23 that has an ET4000 selection that works for the STB

I have the same problem. The Orchid selection is for the ET3000.

Electronic Arts just sent me a letter for a free update to Deluxe Paint II
Enchance ver 2.3 that supports VESA and ET4000. (I'm not positive about that
ver number since I have the letter at home.)

VPIC 3.8 and above supports the ET4000 too.
