- Help!!
-
- First, I HAVE read the FAQ many times and have tried all sources for many
- weeks. If anyone could help me with all/part of my problems, THANK YOU.
-
- I have been running os2 & the WPS for a couple of months and have the
- 1024x768 driver working for my Diamond Speed Star+ (again, non-24x). However,
- I can not find a driver to substitute for VGA.DRV for win-os2 full screen
- sessions which will work!! I have tried every driver ZIP-pack I could
- find but they all broke at some point. TWINET54.ZIP from wuarchive had
- some drivers which worked, then got a "APPLICATION ERROR:GP Fault" in the
- driver while running Ami pro 3.0. I also tried the drivers in SPDSTAR6.ZIP
- but those did not work at all!
-
- I am begging <grovel> for help to find driver(s) to substitute for VGA.DRV
- to run full-screen win-os2 sessions and maybe a clue as to how to get the
- refresh rates up into the 70-72 Hz range I'm used to with windows. If some
- kind soul also knows of a way to get Svga seemless-winos2 windows, I would
- be amazingly happy!! So I've been trying to get 1024x768x256 and maybe
- 800x600x256 (15bit??) drivers.

- My system: 386, 40MHz
- 8 Meg RAM
- 120 Meg Drive
-
- Please, please, please Post and/or e-mail solutions.
- Thanks,
- Andreas.
