- Yes, I ran into the same problem BUT...
- Here's a quote from the readme file about TDW and the DLL drivers:
-
- From time to time we have new DLLs for new video cards. These DLLs,
- when available, can be downloaded from Compuserve, BIX, GEnie, and our
- local BBS (408-439-9096). As new video cards and modes appear on the
- market, we will be creating new DLLs for them. If the card you use
- isn't supported by one of our DLLs, please contact Tech Support for
- the latest video DLL information. Our main Tech Support phone number
- is 408-461-9133.
-
- I downloaded the latest drivers and lo and behold TDW worked.
-
- Good luck,
