Hi Paul. Do a search on "ATI" for the last 1.5 to 2 year on the UT. You will see some solutions. Some involve getting the latest video drivers, others involve using the plain SVGA driver... other recommend getting a different video card.

>My new Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop has the ATI Rage 3D chipset and FoxPro 2.6a GPFs everytime I start it. Fortunately, I just hit "ignore" (or tell Norton CrashGuard to ignore it) and everything is fine. I had no clue what the problem was until we rented a bunch of Compaq Deskpros for a tradeshow and only the PCs with the ATI chips exhibited the problem.

>ATI's website indicates that there is a compatibility problem with Rage and older 16-bit apps. They provide an older version driver that is supposed to solve it, but does not. I guess this is related to FPW 2.6's notorious use of "demanding" "optimizations" on the video subsystem?
