1. And then suddenly ... crash

I have been toying with EU for several months now and have been nothing but
impressed. Recently my hard drive packed up and i got another one under
warranty. I reinstalled W95 and all my old stuff and everything works
perfectly, until I try to call any video mode over 19 with EU, then the screen
goes blank and the computer hangs up. I can only put this down to a display
driver problem, although I'm pretty sure it's still the same one, and everything
else works fine (games etc.)

Has anyone experienced this problem? Solutions? Suggestions?

I have a P-120 and an S3 video card.

As to the UNSHROUD issue, I agree with Ralph
(never thought I'd say those four words)

Waiting with baited breath,

Are you people down under still mad at him? (BTW, his name is Ralf!)
Or are you mad again? Maybe you noticed that he changed his attitude a lo=
t,
lately.
At least, that's what I think.

I have a Diamond Viper video card and have to use a VESA driver for anyting
over mode 19.

I also have a S3 card at the computer at work and have this problem.
I have found that if you include machine.e and use the use_vesa(1) at the
top of any program that uses the higher mode it works fine.

Hope this helps

Yep, me too..But someone would have figured it out eventually. We just have
to figure out a better way :)

Good point. Unfortunately it dosn't help. It used to work fine with this card.
I suppose I'll have to keep trying some different drivers. My guess is that
some game I installed sometime updated my video driver an when I reinstalled
on a new drive I lost it.

Thanks anyway for your response.

Graeme.
