i tried to install the video-driver of spea v7-vega plus(pci) on a p75. win98a has found the advance logoc 2301 but in windows it says its the win3.1 version. i cannot change resolution from 480 x 640. i have a win95-version which has to be installed from disk(i have tried it from a directory too). resolution settings must be changed within dos. maybe i mix something i give you informations from two driver-versions. the problem i tried to change the driver-even by using the standard one before installing the new one. i think i missed using the manual procedure and searching for the directory the driver is installed. what is you opinion? btw: i was lucky seen the resolution chart of the spea but nothing changed when i tried to enter 600x800 even with conservative setting of 256 colors. screen is ok.i have winme and hope to use the win95-driver. btw: i have some small troubles with a matrox milleniumII(no driver for winme around). on one harddisk the pciture/screen is flickering(is this the right word?) maybe the configuration is not ideal for that harddisk. devices(drives, board ec are very tight around the screen outside the case.

Have you checked to see if your monitor is VGA or Svga? If you have a vga monitor you will only be able to get 640x480 resolution no matter which video driver you try to use. If your monitor is Svga then you will need to install the 'latest and greatest' driver for your video card after windows loads then change your adapter from within Device Manager:
Start>Settings>Control Panel>System>Device Manager-select Dispay Adapter\Properties-Change.
Hope this helps ..H

i could change the driver. i had some confusions because one readme told me the resolution/frequence changing must?/can? be made through dos. but this seem to be the case in win31x. i remember this because win311 was on that machine.maybe that ok inwin98a too but the problem was that i did the wrong procedure to change the driver. thanks a lot for all your help.
