TROUBLESHOOTING

After loading Diamond Video drivers I get VDD error after rebooting

This is generally caused by conflicting of drivers. From Windows, click Start / Settings / Control Panel / Click the settings tab / Under settings change the display type to Standard VGA; once this has been set, reboot the computer, if needed. Uninstall all Diamond Video drivers through the Add / Remove Icon through Control Panel or through the Uninstall program, if supplied with the drivers. Once the drivers have been completely Uninstalled, attempt to install the Latest drivers again.

Will my video card work with Windows NT 4.0?

Most new Diamond video cards will work in Windows NT providing there are available drivers on Diamond's web site, as well as ensuring that you have Windows NT Service Pack 3 installed.

Getting unreadable text with older games and my Diamond Video card.

More than likely this is caused because older DOS games, such as SIM CITY 2000, use 8x14 text font. Diamond supplies a TSR utility called VGA8x14.COM, by running this utility before running the game.

Getting no video or distorted video with the game Shadow Warrior with Diamond Speed Star.

Generally caused by having the Zero Wait State Enabled, disabling this should allow the game to function properly.

Receive Solitaire has caused a general protection fault in WSPDBF.DRV at 001:0F38. 

This is caused when the computer is using the Diamond Speedstar 24x 256k video driver ver 2.02 in Windows 3.1 and 3.11. To resolve the issue, it is recommend that you use the Standard VGA video drivers supplied with Windows 3.1x.
