I installed the 256 color Win 3 driver for my Orchid Prodesigner Plus video card. It works ok unless I move the mouse cursor to the top of the screen while a program is loading. The cursor is an hourglass at this point, and locks up my whold system every time. I do not have this problem at all with the standard VGA driver. I got the Orchid driver from Orchid's BBS and I'm sure it's the right one. Any ideas? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Lee Bollard unix: bollard@hpspkla.spk.hp.com Hewlett-Packard HPDesk: Lee BOLLARD / HP1000/53 Spokane Division Compuserve: 72105,423 (509)921-4608 * Opinions are my own, not my employer's * -----------------------------------------------------------------------

I have the same card, and am running in 1024x768x256 with no problems. The board has 1Meg (of course); I'm running interlaced to a NEC 3D. Windows drivers are version 3.2 (older ones are on the BBS too, be careful). My video BIOS chips are version 3.3. I have noticed that, with an IBM mono card installed, the board won't come up in 16-bit mode, but only 8-bit, which slows the screen updates in Windows by a factor of nearly 2 (measured, not estimated). I'd sure love to know how to fix that ... -- Barry Press Internet: press@venice.sedd.trw.com
