Everex EV-673 Requires Everex VDD for Enhanced ModeLast reviewed: November 23, 1994Article ID: Q65456 |
The information in this article applies to:
SUMMARYThe Everex EV-673 EGA/VGA display card requires a special VDD (virtual display driver) to operate correctly under Windows 3.0 in enhanced mode. You do not need the special driver for real or standard mode. This Everex driver is named 673WIN3.EXE, and has a file size of 54218 bytes and a date of August 8, 1990. Earlier versions of this driver should not be used. This driver may be obtained from Everex Technical Support at (510) 498-1115, or by modem from the Everex electronic bulletin board at (510) 226-9694. Installation instructions are included in the driver package. According to Everex, there is no similar driver for Windows 3.1. The only workaround is to select EGA display.
MORE INFORMATIONThe Everex driver package for Windows 3.0 also includes an 800 x 600 16-color display driver that you can use to obtain higher resolution under Windows. The 800 x 600 driver is not necessary for proper enhanced mode operation. Install OEM (original equipment manufacturer) VDD files by editing the [386Enh] section of the Windows 3.0 SYSTEM.INI file. The existing VDD line may read as follows:
[386Enh] display=*vddvgaThis should be changed to read as follows:
[386Enh] display=673win3.exeThen, the 673WIN3.EXE file should be placed in the SYSTEM subdirectory.
