Nice to know that they exist, but where are they located?
It appears to me, that nobody seems to know what/where the best/fastest
ET4000 windows 3.1 drivers are... Sure, I found some on the net, but
not all of them seem to work on my clone (so-called VGA Ultra)
ET4000-based card.

So: what and where are THE windows 3.1 ET4000 drivers?

I have an Ultra + and after a long call to Tech Support (on my dime) we
finally worked out turning the memory aperature off in order to get the
card to run at ALL in my machine (8mb). The Tech said that in their tests
memory aperature use only gave a performance boost of 3-4% (unless he was

Or try getting a copy of pktmux off Simtel-20, its pktmux11.zip I think.
This allows up to four simultaneous accesses to the packet driver (so
you can run Telnet, ftp, lpr, and LPQ all at the same time under
windows). An *ExcellanT* piece of software. Enjoy !!!

Thanks Microsoft for making me feel like a complete idiot!  When I go to install
a new driver through the Control Panel (Apple ripoff!) it asks me to insert the
disk with the driver or type the path.  I do this and it comes back with the same
damn dialog!  I've tried every (?) combination of path, drive, etc. and it still
treats me like a fool!  MS Word v2.0a install program does this to me too!

I'm really starting to miss my Mac IIcx...I't may not have calculated ask quickly,
but I sure as hell didn't spend as much time trying to get the damn thing to work!

Subject: Paradise VGA driver: division by zero???
Organization: Techn. University of Berlin, Germany
Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1992 10:26:00 GMT

Hello everyone,

recently I bought a new VGA with Paradise/WD chipset, 1 MB true colour.

Whenever I change to a new resolution in Windows 3.1 (I prefer using setup
in DOS), I get a system error right after restarting Windows: 
"Division by zero or overflow error", and then it goes back to DOS. It still
manages to get my background picture loaded, the crash occurs right before
Prog. Manager should appear.

When I start Windows again, all works fine until I change the resolution again.

I use the VGA drivers that came with the card, apparently they are buggy.
(I assume it's the drivers that are to blame, since with my old VGA and its
drivers everything was ok.)

Well I can live with that problem as it occurs only once after changing, but
if there's a cure, I'd like to know it. Perhaps there are updated drivers
available?

Thank you for any hints


Wolfgang

You could load the picture into PaintBrush as a PCX, then save it again as a

You have to tell Windows where COM3 actually lives.  First, I hope you
set it to some interrupt besides IRQ4 (the default for COM3 - also
used by COM1) or IRQ3 (used by COM2).  Then you need to add some
statements to your SYSTEM.INI file.  Take a look in the SYSINIxx.WRI
files that should be in your Windows directory.  The settings you need
are detailed in one of them.

    James,

    If you want to use .PCX files because they take less disk space than
    .BMP, be aware that there are several wallpaper management utilities that
    allow the .BMPs to be stored in a .ZIP or .LZH archive, that will save you
    a lot of disk space.  The program will Unarchive one wallpaper file at
    random, and display it.  The one I uses unarchives one of the files to the
    name walpaper.bmp, just set up Windows to use that as your wallpaper and
    you're set.  And it never gets boring.   :-)

From: <I19LG@CUNYVM.BITNET>

Organization: City University of New York/ University Computer Center

Well, folks, the previous (the other day) mystery has been fixed 97% after the
invaluable advice from u guys. After all, I think it might be caused by a
defective expansion slot or multi I/O card...However, the problem is still
coming for my Paradise (compatible) SVGA with 512KB. It supposes to run windows
in 640x480x256 mode. But for no reason, everytime I run under this display set-
ting, my computer will lock up after moving the MOUSE for a while. The situatio
n is better if I only use keystrokes to open windows or choose the icon. And I
do run some graphic viewer software like WINGIF in 256 colors with no problem
as long as I don't move the mouse. Needless to say, it is extremely stupid not
to use a mouse in Windows (at least nobody do it as I know). Moreover, at the
time I warm boot my PC, the screen will be messed up like snow storm.

So, for all u genius, do u have any advices or idea:

Personally, I think the reason may be:
1. SVGA card has not enough memory (512kb?)
2. SVGA driver only support Windows 3.0 (since it changes the logo to Win 3.0)
3. SVGA has some conflict with my mouse either in hardware or software
4. EMM386 makes the SVGA mode disable?

The following is my PC layout:
  Intel 386DX/25Mhz, 4MB ram, 64 cache, 15 MB uncompressed HD space, 60 MB
  compressed (stacker 2.0) HD space, 2.0 MB used in Win swap file.

                                     Thanks in advance!

    Ken,

    In AUTOEXEC, set the environment variable WINPMT=[WIN] $p$g
    That will give the current path as a prompt, and the [WIN] is
    presented so you don't forget you're in a shell.

    I'm at my office, but I'm pretty sure it's WINPMT.  It's close, anyway
    :-)   Check the manual when in doubt, I guess.

I have a friend who has an ATI Graphics Ultra card with the mouse that
came with it. He wants to use a trackball mouse with the system and
since he knows little or nothing about his system and relies heavily
on me to help him out (I don't have an ATI myself and haven't the time 
to spend deciphering his manual/ config.sys/autoexec.bat) he can't figure 
out how to change his mouse driver to work on a standard com port rather 
than the  ATI's port. Any simple answers?
