I want to thank everyone for their help so far, but I still don't have it working. I moved that vbeaf.drv file from the Win95 computer where install worked to the DOS computer that has the Tseng card. Now when I select either vbe/af or autodetect in the Allergro test program, my computer reboots. Earlier, I mentioned the "spilled register" errors when I tried to rebuild from FREEBS12 source. I stopped trying because there were so many. Can I rebuild just a subset? Is the Tseng version of vbeaf.drv built as a standalone object during the make, or do I need to rebuild the entire install.exe and have it extract the right vbeaf.drv? I'm not sure I can debug the Tseng vbeaf.drv, but I will try if no one offers a better suggestion. -- http://www.erols.com/johnfine/ http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/8600/
