Now, I have found new drivers from Creative labs.  But I have problems installing it:  After removing the vsbd.386 (old version that come in windows) After installing Creative Sound Blaster - MIDI Synthesizer  I try to install Creative Sound Blaster 1.5 Wave...  But when I am in the menu: Add Unlisted or Updated Driver and double click on this driver, I have this error:  --------------------------Driver Error---------------------------  Cannot load Creative Sound Blaster 1.5 Wave and MIDI driver. The driver file may be missing. Try installing the driver again, or contact your system administrator.  Yes, yes, yes, I have read the README.1st and try every thing!  can somebody help me??

I just got off the phone with Mathsoft technical service. They are now admitting a problem of unknown nature with Maple and Norton Desktop for Windows. They have no clue at this time and are collecting configuration information on the systems which exhibit the problem. Anyone having problems loading the Maple solver in MathCad 4.0 under NDW shoud call technical support at 617-577-1017. They made no schedule promices, but are actively working on the problem.  In the meantime, the workaround is to provide a configuration selection in autoexec.bat to use PROGMAN (yuk, pew) whenever you plan to use the Maple solver and NDW otherwise. I am using Norton BE to place a little menu on the screen with a 5 second timeout to auto boot NDW.

THe best sound conversion program I've ever seen is SoundTool, which is shareware from Germany.  I found a copy somewhere in wuarchive.wustl.edu a long time ago, but I don't know offhand what directory it was under.  It's GREAT at converting files of all types, including Mac, NExT, Sun, and various PC formats... It's also a great player and editor, with various special effects that put Windows' Sound Recorder to shame.  It requires a driver for various sound cards... The only builtin one is for the pc speaker (and even that sounds pretty good), but if you're just using it to convert things, you can convert them in SoundTool and then play them in Sound Recorder.  Give it a try!  Bret

Lets see... what MS products don't have major bugs in them?  Oh, but the fifth release the bugs are generally cleared up, even if their customers must buy new "releases" from them that are little more than bug fixes.

If MS does anything, it appears someone has to do it first.  It appears that MS is finding out that throwing money at technological problems is by no means a guaranteed solution.    --------------------------------------------- |kenton+@CMU.EDU | OS/2 FIXES BROKEN WINDOWS |

ok, i have a 486dx50(ISA) w/ Diamond Stealth VRAM 1MB. I was really satisfied w/ its performance in windows. but now more and more games needs higher frame rates in DOS' VGA, especially this new Strike Commander. ;-) this stealth vram can only give me 17.5 fps. ;-( (i use 3dbench). my winmark was 6.35 million, i think.  so right now i'm considering to replace it w/ a new card, which hopefully can perform approx same w/ my current VRAM in windows and also can perform DOS' VGA preferably >30fps.  i also saw the 3dbench benchmark list from someone who compiled it in csipg and it looked that SpeedStar 24X and Orchid Prodesigner 2d-s ware the fastest for non local bus motherboard. both can give >30fps in DOS' VGA w/ 486dx2/66. Does anyone have a winmarks for both of those cards above with the processor type ? which one is the worthiest(not necessarily fastest)? any other card recommendation is welcomed too.  also, if possible, where can i get 'this' card for the cheapest? ;-)  thanks in advance, folks!

As I recall, if I exited from a DOS session while in full-screen mode, the menu titles had changed to a scrambled version of the icon title font (or something like that). It only started happening after I used IconTitleFaceName in WIN.INI to change the desktop font to Arial. So I stopped exiting from DOS sessions while in full-screen mode.  My Mac used to do something similar.

Since I now have Dos 6 as well, I don't use many of the features of PCT4Win.  But I do so use: 	- the PCT Desktop with drag and drop printing, folders in           folders, and multiple desktops 	- the file manager which is far superior to win 3.1's fm.
I've recently uploaded to cica the current (v2.8) version of the working  model of MicroCal Origin, a scientific and technical 2D/3D graphics and data  analysis package for Windows 3.x. The working model is 2D only and puts a promo message on hardcopies, but is largely identical to the full version. Saving Origin files is disabled, but you can save ASCII data sets produced with Origin. It also says it has an expiration date of Sept. 1, 1993.  Try it. You may like it, as I do!  It's currently in /pub/pc/win3/uploads as ORIGIN.ZIP.

Just got a ss24X based on its good ratings, but am a little under-impressed.  First, is it's performance in 16.7 mill. supposed to be comparable to a Trident 8900 (or other unaccelerated VGA)?  I  came up with only OK performance on WinSpeed.  In 256, it was between good and great.  Second, does anyone know where to get that JPG viewer "for the SS24X".  I saw it on cica or something.  Does it work better.  Thanks for any help.  Greg

Judging from the Wintach tests, I can hardly > imagine that there is a cheat driver for it.  I received my Graphite VL on Thursday, and I've had a little bit of  experience with it now.  In general, it feels *FAST*, although this is the first VLB card that I have tried.  Still, the results are  impressive.  With my 486DX2/66 w/16 MB, running at 1024x768/256, I've had the following WinTach 1.0 results:   Card				WP	CAD	Spread	Paint	Overall ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ATI Graphics Ultra		13.5	14.5	19.1	25.0	18.0 ATI Ultra+ (no aperture)	11.2	13.8	10.7	20.9	14.1 Hercules Graphite VL		16.1	67.8	41.4	52.8	44.5  Unfortunately I don't have the numbers here, but the ATI Ultra Pro VLB had an overall WinTach score of about 26.  The Ultra Pro was nearly as fast in text handling, but was blown away in the CAD and Paint tests.  As an additional test, we hand-timed a complex CorelDraw! slide resize/- redraw times.  There was no swapping, but I'd expect there is a fairly heavy load on the CPU.  The Graphite redraw times averaged about 10.2 seconds, with ATI Ultra Pro at 12.0.  This jives with Steve Gibson's contention that the ISA Graphite is faster than an ATI UP on his complex Micrografx Draw document.  So far, I'm *very* impressed.  The drivers look solid, and the card flies. The installation and utilities are different, but comparable to ATI's.  And I didn't have to wait for Build 59 for some reliability...  With Hercules' software developer special, you can get an evaluation copy of the card for just $225 (or $200 for the ISA version).  Call 800-532-0600 if you want to give it a try -- I'm a happy customer now!

For example, open the apps with data files that cause resulting low system resources with ndw 2.x as shell,   then do the same with program manager, and see if it's the shell or the apps.

Somewhere in this thread, it has been said that Windows NT (tm) is a  multi-user OS, as well as multi-threading, etc.  I certainly haven't seen this to be the case.  There are seperate accounts for each person, and even seperate directories if that is desired.  I don't see an  implentation of simultaneuos use though.  		Scott   --

Once you know what is wrong, it is quite easy to fix. Go into the Fonts dialog under Control Panel, and select the two fonts MT Extra and Fences. Delete them, but only delete the list entries, not the disk files. Now select Add, and add the fonts MT Extra Plain and Fences Plain. Close the Font box, close Control Panel, and restart Word. Everything should be alright now.  Does anyone know if Microsoft has fixed this thing yet? They HAVE to know about it by now, it's been so frequently reported.

I have been using WinQVT/Net 2.81 under Win3.1 (dos 5.0) for quite sometime without any problem.  I recently installed DOS 6.0 on my 386-40 PC and I cannot run WinQVT/Net any more.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to find a Windows 3.x driver for a video board that is based on the Chips & Technologies chipset.  The actual board is a Scorpion Framegrabber made by Univision.  It is based on the C&T chipset, but only barely supports the graphics mode.  I am hoping that any C&T driver could be used in the 640x480x256 mode.  Thanks.

Very well indeed.  At home (a VL Bus version of the Graphics Pro) I can stretch an AVI window to 640x480 and it will continue to play back smoothly.  It drops a few more frames but on most machines even attempting such a thing would mean one frame update every 30 seconds.  An ISA Graphics+ was able to do "Zoom by 2" without any perceptible performance penalty.  It is the best performance I've seen so far with the possible exception of an Intel Indeo board (which uses overlay so it doesn't have to move the decompressed data over the ISA bus at any point).
