I've just installed a Diamond 3D 2000 Pro 2M video card into my
5x86-based PC (DOS 6.22 and Win3.1) and installed the drivers
from floppy disks which were generated from the CD which came
with the video card.  I'm now finding that some of my
applications, in particular Word 6.0, Excel 5, IE3 and Visio 3,
fail to run.  Specifically, they all get as far as the start-up
screen and then die with the message "Application error - call
to undefined dynalink".  Other applications, including Word
2.0c, Excel 4, Access and Micrographix Designer, all seem to run
OK.

I did have some problems in getting the Diamond install program
to run properly at first; the system refused to recognise the
first change of floppy, but all eventually went OK.  The
installation of the video drivers etc also seemed to cause the
loss of a file called COMPOBJ.DLL, but running a reinstall of
Microsoft Office overcame that problem.

Can anyone suggest the cause of the problem and how to overcome
it?  I've tried deinstalling and then reinstalling almost
everything (including Windows), all to no avail.

As an aside, does anyone know which application(s) might use
device drivers (included in the [386Enh] section of SYSTEM.INI
as device=) called VPMTD.386; LPT.386; SERIAL.386, VCOMM.386 and
VCACHE.386?  They seemed to have disappeared from my system so
that when Windows started it complained that they weren't there,
but I can't work out which application needs them!  They don't
seem to be part of a standard Windows or Office installation.

Replies by email please,

Thanks in advance,
