Hiya All.

  I have an Olivetti Envision P75. It has a Trident 9470 graphics card
on the motherboard. I'm using the W95 standard SVGA driver due to the
correct driver not being supplied with my machine (just some patch
that causes GPFs on certain option tabs.

  So after a long search I finally found what I was looking for, or so
I thought.

  From Trident: the latest 9470 video driver.

  Didn't work.

  From Olivetti: The OEM 9470 driver (just an earlier version of the
above).

  Didn't work.

  Same problem both times, garbage on screen and the computer totally
locks up and I *have* to switch it off then on again and go into Safe
Mode.

  Is it something I'm doing wrong? I go to Properties/Settings select
Change Driver and choose the supposedly compatable 9470 driver, select
close, etc. and cross fingers. Is there something else I'm missing?


So long and thanks for all the fish...
