How do I do this,  the Win3.1 driver had no switches etc or software
to configure the card?

CC:} Did you do a clean installation of Win-95 or install over an existing

CC:} driver.

I re-built the system from scratch, but have built it in three
different ways and still had the same problem.  Virgin, copy over
Win3.1 and to a seperate directory.

CC:} Do you have a COM4?  There are reports of S3 graphics cards interfereing

I don't have COM4, just 1 and 2.  3 & 4 map over 1 & 2 don't they?
Mouse is on COM1 and Modem on COM2

CC:} Did your card come with any DOS utilities to set it up eg. refresh rates,
CC:} VESA drivers or extended resolution enablers.  Try either removing or
CC:} adding them (as necessary).

Fraid not,  but I am just backing up the system, before trying the
Win3.1 drivers rather that Win95 driver
