Is there anything else I can do? "Real Dos", the switched WIN98 DOS mode doesnt work either because the performance is unacceptable. All I can do is to boot DOS7 from the second harddisk.
Albrecht,
You could try buying a new video card. Be sure to get one that supports
the
old DOS VESA modes. The old Matrox cards used to be good. Nick
I have an Nvidia 6800GT, it has full vesa support, even 1600/1200. This is my fourth Nvidia and as far as I know, all nvidias have full Vesa support. If I should guess I would say Fractint does no know the physical Video address, but what can I do about it? regards, Al _______________________________________________
