Atleast someone has turned back to God, which is what I've been praying for. I know 1 thing though: God may be busy but not TOO BUSY. ATTENION AMERICA!!! LET'S WAKE UP AND TURN BACK TO GOD!

Ok. So basically , everyone is telling me there is NO POSSIBLE WAY to get my windows 3.11 to display 800x600 16 color. I really just need the smaller screen size. I'm sorry if I'm frustrating anyone by asking again, but I'm just finding it hard to believe that there is NOTHING I can do. Someone told me before there is a "patch" for win 3.11 that just does a generic 800x600 16 color display. is this true? or am i just stuck. last time im gonna ask. promise. lol. thanks -phillyb PhillyB222

Have you looked at SciTech Display Doctor 6.53 ? http://www.scitechsoft.com/products/ent/free_titles.html Though I would advise that your best bet is to look for a graphics driver which supports what you want, then try to find the graphics card....................

OK. I tried SciTech Display Doctor. Installed fine, restart and it says No SVGA Compatible Video Card found on system or something. So I'm wondering...Is it possible to CONVERT a newer driver so its compatible with win 3.11? Or if its actually possible to write a driver for my Video card myself for Windows 3.11..what all does that include? I'm no dummy but I'm not experienced with this. I do have programming education tho. anyone with an Idea id love to hear from ya. Im really getting annoyed at my computer. lol. I DONT want to change my hardware at all. just want a compatible driver or a program to convert a 32 bit Driver to 16 Bit. thanks everyone, -philly PhillyB222

"or a program to convert a 32 bit Driver to 16 Bit." That entire premise was (and is) flawed, and will not likely lead to a productive starting off point Good luck with your endeavours - perhaps the programming forum can direct you to the proper area of study Computers in the future may have only 1,000 vacuum tubes and perhaps only weigh 1 1/2 tons. - Popular Mechanics, 1949

Earlier Grphics Chipsets conformed to VESA2 standard, modern graphics card do not that is why Scitech issue the software free. Scitechsoft do have the Programming Tools avaiable but wether it will work for you is debatable. http://www.scitechsoft.com/products/products.html The programming forum may be a good place to start, but I still feel that an older S3 graphics card would be better. This is a very interesting thread going nowhere, and still awaiting the response from GOD.

Ok, So im at the SciTech website. What exactly are u recommending I do? I'm not familiar with they're company at all. What am I looking for? I tried the Display Doctor Said no compatible SVGA card found. ??? -phillyb PhillyB222

ok, I downloaded the Snap Graphics for DOS, it installs and DOES support my ATI Radeon 7000, but does NOT supply any drivers to use from Windows 3.11. I didnt see a win 3.11 version of this program on their website. anyone have any ideas? I think we may have solved my problem. just gotta get a win 3.11 version of snap graphics. anyone know what I can do please respond. thanks :) -phillyb PhillyB222

SciTech SNAP SDK Take full advantage of SciTech SNAP™ Graphics certified binaries with the SciTech SNAP SDK. Embedded/industrial developers looking to directly access the power of the graphics hardware will find the advantages offered by this SDK tough to beat. SciTech SNAP SDK is fully documented and offered under either a GPL license or Scitech's proprietary license. THIS IS FOR DEVELOPERS SO DEVELOP !!! I think you need the Programming Forum

Interesting issue... I had (and still have) almost the same problem as yours. I installed Win 3.1 on a Toshiba 4000 CDS laptop with Chips and Technologies video chip. Video card supports 800x600 and thousands of colours, however, with Win 3.1, the best I managed to do is 800x600, 16 colours. Just in case you don't know: THERE IS a generic Microsoft driver that supports 800x600, 16 colours (Internet download; if you can't find it for any reason, provide me with an e-mail address and I will send it to you). Another possible solution to your problem: have you tried the w31et4 drivers? (Internet download again, a simple search in Google may be enough. I haven't tried the drivers myself, but why not try?)

w31et4 Windows 3.x drivers for Tseng ET-4000 chipset I do not see what relevence this has to do with a non-VESA2 complient ATi Radeon 7000, but whatever. Just install W95 pre FAT32, on install you are given the option to use the W3.1 file manager: Windows 95 retail 4.00.950 Windows 95 retail SP1 4.00.950A OEM Service Release 1 4.00.950A OEM Service Release 2 4.00.1111 (4.00.950B) I am still awaiting GOD to respond

Ok, how bout this one. lol. Is there ANY video driver out there that anyone can think of that COULD be compatible with my card? atleast for 640x480 256 or 800x600 256? Im not giving up. lol I WILL find a driver. or learn to write one myself. Thanks to everyone tho for all ya help -philly PhillyB222

Ok, I have installed UniVBE and have it loading before windows 3.11. I am set to 800x600 256 color and it DOES work. i mean the color looks good. but its all scrunched up in the 1st quarter of the screen. and when i move the mouse..it just wraps around the screen like I had the Wrap around option set in windows. Does this mean my VRAM isnt big enough? cause windows is showing me having 256 VRAM, but my card is like 128MB card. so how can i make this work? is there a setting somewhere that determines the VRAM.

If there are no drivers, there are no drivers. Downgrade the video card if you want both OS'es You can avoid many of these Windows problems with Linux. Linspire eases the transition for new users

http://www.michaelv.org/computers/guides/win31.php#svga You can get SVGA modes (256 colors).
