I can use a number of different graphics drivers, such as VESA, stdvga and stdega, each giving a slightly different display. But I'd really like to run the program on my old 386 under DOS or Windows 3.1 with an EGA monitor. I have installed grx2.4 and djgpp in just the same way, and both seem to work normally (with the CWS DPMI server supplied by djgpp), except that whenever I try to set the graphics driver I get the runtime error message : GrSetMode: Could not find suitable video driver (e.g. running the sample program "Hello" in the grx2.4 documentation, which works fine on the Windows 95 machine). The autoexec.bat file contains the following assignments: set DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env set GRX20DRV=stdega gw 640 gh 350 nc 16 set GRXFONT=c:\DJGPP\contrib\grx24\fonts The config.sys file sets up the EGA monitor driver with the command: device=c:\windows\ega.sys It seems that grx2.4 can't find the EGA video driver. Yet MSD clearly indicates that the driver is firmly in place under DOS, and the Windows 3.1 setup also indicates that the video driver is an EGA. Anyone got any idea what's wrong?? Philip
