When I bought my computer, the dealer installed the SS24x, and put the 'Fixup'
command in the autoexec.bat.  The SS24x manual doesn't mention it at all, 
does anyone know what it is supposed to do?  I don't use it anymore, sometimes
when I tried to display a GIF, it would display only the top 1/5 of the screen,
with the rest of the picture displayed 'on top of it' (difficult to explain :-)
This even happened to the SS24X-intro-picture, after running the install-
program.  (It still happens occaisionally when displaying a picture in a low
resolution (using VPIC) )

Also, dos anyone know a FTP-site with the latest drivers?  (Please tell me the
exact location and filename, since I have to get them through FTP-mail..)

Han.
