I wanted to update my Viper 330 and MII voodoo2 drivers.
I went from diamond's 124a drivers to the most current 128a & IN Control
Tools 98.
After installing Diamonds .128a drivers & In Control Tools 98

1.  MS Works 4.0a has (word processor) strange appearence.  Text &
graphics no longer views appropriately, very weird,  under view > page
layout (default & I prefer).  If you go to view > normal it seems ok.
2.  Ms Publisher for Windows 95, the page layout lines red & blue
(margins) are no longer there.
3.  Deer Hunter no longer works, just locks up.

Now my only recourse is to remove the diamond 128a and in control tools
98 and go with the most current nVida reference driver 2.77.
But before I do . . . .
Is anyone using a Viper 330 with 2.77 ref drivers and a Diamond Voodoo2
with any of the diamond 200, 201, 203 drivers?
Any conflicts with any programs or hardware stuff?
I would appreciate any info or experiences.
Many thanks
