I'm not a power user of fractint, but whatever I tried seemed to work ok. I sense that laying down a fat partition is cheating, but it does the job. You can also boot from a windows 98 startup disk, and run as well. Then though, your fat partition will be drive 'C' and you won't be able to see any of XP.
Hope this helps and is not too trivial.
I would have thought the problem was with the video drivers. What kinds of video modes can you use?

I recently installed XP. My video card is: ATI Rage 128 GL AGP. It worked fine for use with FRACTINT under Windows98 and WindowsME, 1024*786 256 color VEGA mode. In WindowsXP it is not possible for me to use Fractint anymore. The utility makefcfg returns no videomode, only when using option 16 a number of videomodes are entered, all with 1024*786 16 colors, but for all of them Fractint refuses to run. Also for all video modes in the old fractint.cfg made under W98 and WindowsME result in: "that video mode is not available with your adapter". I tried to install the original ATI driver but it is not accepted by XP because "it is not designed for XP". Has anybody suggestions to resolve this problem? Paul
