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 _______________________________________________

Try setting up a graphics profile using the software provided by Nvidia (ForceWare ?). It is possible that hardware graphics acceleration or some other advanced graphics feature is confusing things. In essense, you want to dumb down the card until Fractint works. This is, of course, just a guess since I don't have one of these video cards. Jonathan

Hi, I found a solution of the problem: After restoring an image with the "R" command and I do any input, the monitor shuts off due to lack of an input signal. When I press alt-tab I have the usual desktop. But I can restart Fractint from the taskbar nad Oh wonder! text and image are there. Thanks to all for your help. regds, Al.
