I am a registered owner of Executor/Dos and a believer and supporter of the
product. As Director of Applied Research at ISI, I have an SGi, a Sun Sparc20,
an HP, a PowerPC, a Mac A/V, an older Mac 950, an Amiga 4000, a Micron P5 166
and a Dell P5 120 for daily use. I run OS/2, Win95, WinNT, Solaris, Irix,
WorkBench, System 7.5, etc.
My problem is with the Micron P5 166. It runs Executor extremely fast but
will not run in 1024x768 mode and I can't figure out why.
The configuration is 32 mb EDO ram, a P5 166mhz, an FX9 video card with 8 mb
of video ram, and a Nokia 447E monitor running Win95 in one of its multiple
boot configurations (The Master Boot Record allows me to choose to boot into
WinNT, Win95, OS/2, or Linux). I have read the FAQ, have kept up with all of
the correspondence, and am looking for help in this one area only.
Executor will start up fine in 800x600 and 640x480, but will not start up at
a higher resolution. I am running all of the above systems at 1280x1024 at 16
million colors and would like to run Executor at the same resolution
(understand that the colors will only be 256 under Executor for now), and
would like some recommendations.
I would also be willing to do any testing that might be necessary for ARDI if
they were interested. Although my time is quite filled, I really like the
product and would like to see it do well. Among my collection of hardware and
software (which goes back to and includes 1977 material), I have a NuTek
machine which functioned quite well but never made the market. it was "almost
there", but not exactly what is needed. I believe that ARDI has a product
that can really penetrate the huge Windows market and will captivate the
imagination of a large base of Mac Wannabes. Having all of the toys, I don't
have to argue their respective merits, but I do know a winner when I get to
play with one. Keep up the good work, ARDI.
Anyone who can help me with the above, please do so. I can be contacted
personally at 504-467-7400, e-mailed at JimBT200@msn.com or JimBT200@gnn.com
or on CompuServe as 71334,2462, or faxed to at 504-467-7943. I hope someone
