I am running at 640x480x16 but I cant change to something better. I did what you suggested, with the 2.11 svga and I did get a svgadata.dos but I couldnt make it work cos it would try to start a vdm and since that doesnt work it reports that it didnt work and doesnt change anything. To make things more strange, under warp gamma winos2 version rmview reports that the cpu is a 586, correct. when I went to install the copy of warp that I bought (warp for windows) rmview says its a 486 HA!!!!! Furthermore when it migrated some of the apps it found on the hd which included Epic Pinball, I started Epic Pinball up and to my complete suprise it worked!!!!! but typing start /dos in a vio session still gives me that stupid sys3176 error, as well as changing the video drivers. So I went and copied the Pinball object and made it a plain dos session and now I can have a dos win/full screen session only from those objects and copies of. Talking about wierd. Since I am running out of patients with this I will try to change the video card (which I think might be the problem). If this doesnt work the motherboard goes back.
