Is this a problem with Jim> the T200? It sounds like Executor is not detecting a VBE-compatible video driver, so it doesn't know how to use SuperVGA modes on your laptop. If you run "executor -info", it should tell you what kind of video driver it finds. If the manufacturer of your laptop can't provide you with a VBE-compatible video driver, you might try UniVBE. UniVBE is a shareware "universal video driver" that works on most video cards. You can download it from ftp://ftp.scitechsoft.com/pub/uvbe51a.zip (that's from memory, and couldb be slightly wrong). I believe UniVBE is also available on the major on-line service providers. -Mat
