I've spent a couple of hours on the phone to the IBM (lack-of?-) helpline without any joy on this one :-( Having recently acquired a Cirrus Logic CL5429 VL Video Card to replace my ageing Trident 8900C, and having established that the latest drivers to use were those for the CL5428, I thought it would be a doddle to swap the cards. Boy was I wrong! I reset my system from 800x600 back to SVGA (as recommended in the manual) but now every time I try the Selective Install Option, irrespective of actual video card installed, I get the old "clang, clang" SYS3175. A check on the register display always reveals AFAIUI an access violation with OS2MM.DLL. Now I can't even get it to give me back 800x600 with my old Trident :-( IBM suggest deleting and re-installing Warp (trauma time - what do I need to restore to get my desktop back as it was???) My system: 486-66, 16M, 2x420Mb IDE, SB Pro, Jumbo DJ10 with AB10 Adaptor, Boot Mgr with DOS and OS/2 (HPFS) partitions. Any pointers would be gratefully received.
