I'v got a C&T NEAT 20 MHz '286 with a Paradise VGAPlus 16 bit, 256 k card driving a Sony CPD-1302 Multi-Scan monitor and I want 256 colors in Windows. Every time I try, I see the Windows welcome screen and then video garbage in which I can just make out the hourglass and mouse pointer and from which I can exit gracefully with keyboard commands. I've tried the new Windows drivers on WD's Paradise bullitin board and read all of the docs and readmes I can get my hands on, but still no luck. One of the readme files that came with the card mentions that in 640x480x256 mode the card does not have enough memory and will use some system memory to make up the difference, but not where it needs to find this memory. I'm stumped. Thanks. ciao James B.

I'm >stumped. Thanks. Since you only have the 256K version of the Paradise card, the largest screen you can do is 640x400x256. I don't know when this driver will come out. I have never been able to get the 640x480x256 driver to work on a 256K card. Not even when there was several extra megabytes of memory available to windows. -- Sincerely Yours Tris Orendorff tris@alzabo.uucp ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ALGERNON: The doctors found out that Bunbury could not live ... so Bunbury died.

I don't see how this can be possible. Most likely you are misinterpreting something. -- KristallNacht: why every Jew should own an assault rifle.
