I tried the OS/2 drivers from the vendor, NO luck! One word, you have to follow the instructions provided with the drivers and follow them to the T. Once installed they work perfectly and I have not experienced any difficulty and I have tested them in a variety of resolutions and modes. Good Luck, Sue
