As the subject says - Has anyone knowlegde of the existence of a
Windows 3.1 driver for the (as far as I know) undocumented video mode
on true register compatible standard VGA cards, which Fractint for DOS
uses. With only a 256k standard VGA, I'd like to see more than only 16
colors.. I've checked cica's video/drivers directory, but couldn't
find anything appropriate...

Any hints...?

Thanks in advance!

It doesn't seem like it.  Any kind of memory test reports no error.  Floppy
access under Win 3.1 is the only thing that makes the system crash.  I guess
I'll call Microsoft after all to hear if they have anything to sya.

  Normally, at least in my experience, this message is due to a bad
SIMM, or simply a SIMM that needs to be "reseated".  Try pulling your
SIMMs first and putting them back in.  If you still get the message I
would assume you have a bad one.  There may be other reasons for this
message.

Aha!  Very similar to a design defect in the original Zenith Z-201, which
crashes with a parity error _only_ when you copy diskette files under
Word Perfect!

The problem was that the designers did not allow enough time for memory
access.  Even when you use chips of the rated speed, at _certain_ high
addresses you get _frequent_ (not every time) crashes.

We solved it by getting new memory boards.

Are you sure its version 2 and not version 1.93?  I think v1.1 is downward
compatible with all versions except 1.93, so it you are basing your conclusion
on the inability of v 1.1 unzipping the file then you might try v1.93  There
has been posts in another group warning people away from a version 2.0 which
I assume got onto some sites.  There was a possibility of a trojan in it.  
If that file was compressed with that v2.0 then I'd be very wary of it.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  Sounds like salespersonspeak to
me.  If you have an "AT" bus... and it sounds like you do that bus will
not be running at 50Mhz but somewhere under 8. (If it did run at 50Mhz then 
most of your cards would not work!)   There is a 99% chance that there will
be not difference, speed wise in how your card sees the system.  As for
the other 1% it is just as likely to improve things, not make them worse.

($140) bundled with Windows 3.1 SDK is really attractive

to me.  Any people out there has hands on the MS C/C++ 7.0?

Will I be able to do some serious Windows programming (complicated 

and eventually professional) by only using this package?  If not,

what C/C++ compiler should I use for Windows programming.  



	Any help is appreciated.
