I own a MAG Innovision DX15F, which, I believe is no longer produced. I have owned this monitor since 1995, when I purchased my system. I had the Windows 3.11 operating system, and ran 256 (8-bit) color. When I upgraded to Windows 95, I sought to upgrade from 256 (8-bit) color to 16-bit (millions). I searched around, and eventually found a file that I downloaded. I believe it was from the Maginnovision website. After installing this file, I was able to select not only 16-bit, but 24-bit from my Display Properties box. I suffered an operating system failure not long ago, and when I reinstalled my system, I was back at square one, with 256 color. I have searched through your site, to no avail for anything that would help me. The video card I own is a Trident Microsystems Card. The Trident Website was more geared towards the gaming manufacturing of the company. I found several 'files' for download that I thought could possibly help me. Each time I ran the self-extracting file, a general protection fault occurred. I have been frantically searching for several months now. If there is *anything* you can do or *any way* you can help me, I would appreciate it with extreme gratitude.

Please E-Mail me if you know *anything*
I am more than desperate..as I work with graphics on a daily basis :/

Jason,

Well if you re-installed Windows, you'll have to go download that file you found before to upgrade your video driver. It seems like you solved this problem before; just do it again. Just a tip, it's always a good idea to keep backups of any new drivers you get on floppy disks. That way, if you ever have to re-install Windows, and you will, you'll have all the latest drivers on hand.

There's a couple of quick checks you can do.
1. When you loaded win95 over 3.1, you were promted to make an emergency disk. Your drivers should be in this disk.
2. Copy the numbers of the video card chip and use a search engine "SNAP" to find the drivers. ex. TGUI 9440-1 driver. I have a Trident TGUI 9440-1 Chipset and found the drivers using the SNAP Search engine. good luck
