  • Microsoft Windows 3.0a
This article was previously published under Q83358

SUMMARY

Video Seven proprietary resolution modes are not supported in virtual machines under Windows version 3.0.

A virtual display device (VDD) specifically for the Video Seven cards is required to provide this functionality. Such a device is not shipped with Windows 3.0, although a Video Seven specific 640 x 480, 256-color display driver (V7VGA.DRV) is supplied.

Instead, Video Seven "pure VGA mode" support is built into the Windows 3.0 VDDVGA (standard VGA VDD) device.

MORE INFORMATION

According to Video Seven technical support, updated Windows 3.0 display drivers and a Video Seven specific VDD are now available. Please contact Video Seven for availability information.

Also, updated Windows 3.0 display drivers for the Video Seven V-RAM, 1024i, and FastWrite video cards can be obtained from the MISCELLANEOUS section of the Bulletin Board System (BBS) maintained by the Video Seven Technical Services.
