re need info on diamond viper video card experiences with diamond viper vlb video card several problems the ad specified million colors at x resolution with mb of vram which is what i have this color depth is not supported with video bios version and drivers version a max of k colors are supported at x and x resolutions with mb vram with the k color choice i notice two minor irritations a under ndw when an entry in a list is highlighted such as in an open menu and then is deselected a faint vertical line often remains where the left edge of the highlighted rectangle used to be b with word for windows when you use shading in a table the display shows the inverse of the shading for example if you shade the cell as the display is the printout is ok the big killer bug is using the borland c integrated development environment the problem occurs when you click on the turbo debugger icon or use the debugger option in the run command and the debugger application goes to vga character mode as it is designed to do the screen goes haywire and is largely unreadable the turbo debugger display is all garbled through trial and error i have found that when the disrupted screen is displayed you should do alt spacebar followed by the letter r this instructs turbo debugger to refresh the screen and it does this satisfactorily i wish i didn t have to do this the bug is more than with the diamond drivers the same disruptive behavior happens with the standard vga driver that comes with windows there must be something in the video card that mishandles the vga mode the problem is not my monitor the same bug shows up when i use another monitor in place of my usual one i still like this video card and am hoping its problems will be remedied they do offer a year warranty swh apr
