When I try to start SETVFX1 from the 'dos'prompt the monitor goes black and nothing happens, but I also cannot switch back to windows (as the screen stays black).. When I start VFX1INIT it says 'VIP Card base port not detected' (it's using the 0260h setting) (I'm still using the v1.63 version) The videocard I'm using is a diamond viper V550.   Mike Ubbink (Treesong) New member Username: Treesong Post Number: 1 Registered: 10-2006 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

I remember trying to hook the cable up to a Viper 330, since it seems to have a vesa connector, but it appeared that that was not a vesa connector at all. The most "modern" vidcard I ever got to work with my vfx1 was a Hercules Terminator.
