In the beginning of August of last year I purchased from Microlab a Super VGA 800*600, 16 bit video card (part number VC-GTK-VGA-256) and 8 RAM chips (part number CH-64X4-100) to bring the video memory up to 512k (and 1024*768 resolution). I am using it on a 386 running an Amazing Technology Super VGA (model number CM-8484E) with 28 mm dot pitch and up to 1024*768 resolution. The set up functions well in VGA mode, but I paid extra for the monitor and card because they are supposed to be able to do better than just 640*480. The drivers that came with the card are all for outdated versions of the software that I use. I am looking for the updated drivers so that I can run Windows 3.0, Word Perfect 5.1, and Lotus 123 release 3.1 in at least 800*600 mode (1024*768 is preferable). The one that I need the most is for GEM Ventura v2.0 (with Professional Extension). I tried the driver for Ventura 2.0, but the program froze after asking me what video card I was using. I even tried copying the driver and editing the batch file, but that didn't work either. There is a driver included for version 1.1, but it also did not work. I have sent a letter and fax to both Microlab and the Video Card's manufacturer, but haven't received any reply. Anyone have any idea as to what I should do to improve my situation? For Windows, I have the 7 supplemental driver disks that Microsoft released. Any idea as to which driver to use? Pete ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter P.
