vtk + Visual Studio 6 + Diamond Viper 770

[Brian Alexander Todd]

Paul,

I had similar problems but with the dll for a Diamond Stealth
III card.  Someone on this list informed me that diamond's drivers
were notoriously flakey, so I ran the same program after booting nt 
in vga mode.  This did away with the problem, so I guess diamond is 
to blame. 

I emailed them and they suggested that I try the reference drives
(S3 for my card).  You might search out reference drivers or at
least the latest version.  I still had problems with the S3 drivers
and switched over to Linux development which is going smoothly.
