As far as I know, it's just a matter of using the VGA card manufacturer's manual booklet (as supplied with the card and it's disk) for instructions on how to set-up the driver in 256 colour mode to work with AutoCAD. (Note: most of the VGA cards I have installed for use in AutoCAD machines have easy-to-follow instructions with SPECIFIC directions about configuring the colours. They usually also have directions for things like WordPerfect, AutoCAD release 9, and others.) I have done this 256 colour setup thing MANY times, so if you continue to have problems, why not e-mail me the details, and I will try to help out. -- __________________________________________________________________ This is where it ends _ _ [_ Rob Amos There ain't no more [ (_) [_) rob%contempt%meteor@bunyip.cc.uq.oz.au
