Hello,

I have a 486 66 machine with a Diamond Viper VLB (2Mb) card, vprmode 2.02 
(which has a VESA 1.2 driver), 16Mb RAM, Sound Blaster 16 ASP, and a Mitsumi
CDROM.  The problem I have is that Dracula Unleashed does not work in SVGA
mode (it comes up as all lines with spaces between as if the card and the
Dracula program do not agree as to which mode the card is in).  It works
fine in VGA mode, but I didn't pay all this money for my machine to see
games in 320x200 mode!  

Are there any known workarounds for this?

Using vprmode vesa or vprvesa both fail to work right (they fail in the
exact same way).  univesa also failed (it did not even detect the card
correctly).

I had a similar problem with t7g but a fix (t7gfix3.zip) solved all my 
problems and everything worked really nicely after that.

Please email me directly and I will post a synopsis afterwards.

Thanks!
