- Diamond Viper V330 Windows 95 Drivers with InControl Tools 95
- ======================================================================
-
- Release Notes
- ------------------
- This is the Diamond Viper V330 Windows 95 Display Drivers
- with InControl Tools 95 version 4.10.01.0127.
-
-
- Installation Notes
- ------------------
- These drivers require DirectX 5 to support DirectDraw and Direct3D
- applications.
-
-
- Known Limitations
- ------------------
- The NVidia Riva 128 chip used on the Diamond Viper V330 requires an IRQ to
- function correctly. If no IRQ has been assigned to the card by the motherboard
- BIOS you may experience symptoms such as windows not booting, or extremely poor
- performance. The symptoms mostly involve error messages such as "While
- initializing device, VDD. Windows Protection Error. You must restart your
- computer." and "While initializing device, NVRM. Windows Protection Error.
- You must restart your computer." Some motherboard BIOS' allow for an option to
- "Assign IRQ for VGA". Often times the latest BIOS will also resolve this
- problem. To correct the problem: Boot into the BIOS setup; Look for an option
- to enable IRQ for VGA (may be in chipset features or PnP configuration) and set
- it to enabled or on; Reboot the system and it should bypass the error. For
- further information please contact your motherboard manufacturer.
-
- When running the DXSETUP.EXE program (which comes with Microsoft's DirectX
- application), the version of the Primary Display Driver will incorrectly be
- displayed as: 0.00.00.0000. This is an issue with the DXSETUP program. To get
- the correct driver information, run the DXINFO.EXE program from within the same
- directory that DXSETUP.EXE is found (on our CD the directory is
- DirectX\DirectX5\DirectX).
-
- Simultaneous output to a TV and a computer monitor is not supported. To enable
- output to a TV, disconnect the monitor cable from the Viper card, attach a TV
- cable and restart your system.
-
- Dxxx Nxxxx fails to enumerate available VESA 2.0 modes. This allows you to
- select modes which are unsupported, such as 320x400.
-
- Shiny Entertainment's game MDK doesn't handle [CTRL-ESC] task switching to the
- desktop properly when in D3D mode. This can cause application or illegal
- operation errors when attempting to do this.
-
-
- Issues Addressed and Features Added
- -----------------------------------
- OpenGL for Windows 95 added.
