This never happened when using the :old Trident. The Fah 1280+ is vesa compatible, I was getting 80% of optimal :SVGA during installation. Anyway, I tried d/l'ing orchvesa, rev1, tlivesa :from Orchid's BBS and loaded one at a time as TSR. Didn't help. I tried to :call their tech support but it's always busy. So if anybody out there who is :using this card, can you help me? I finished the game on the Trident but I :want to beat the blob puzzle before selling the game. I am not sure this will help you but for the brief time I played the game (borrowed a friend's copy) it worked fine on my F1280+ VLB, Texel DM3024, PAS16, DOS5, Cyrix DLC40 8M. The video wasn't as smooth as I would have liked but I think this is because the F1280+ is not a great DOS card. +======================================================+ | Laurence Chiu | Walnut Creek, California | | Tel: 510-215-3730 (work) | Internet: lc...@crl.com | +======================================================+
