Release Notes
-----------------
This is the Diamond Viper V330 Windows 95/98 Release Candidate display drivers 
version 4.10.01.0127 with InControl Tools 95.


Installation Notes

Draw and Direct3D Applications.


Issues Addressed/Features Added

2.  LiveArt 98 (3D animation plug-in for PowerPoint) now works correctly 



Known Limitations
------------------
The NVidia Riva 128 chip used on the Diamond Viper V330 requires an IRQ to
function correctly.  If no IRQ has been assigned to the card by the motherboard
BIOS you may experience symptoms such as windows not booting, or extremely poor
performance. The symptoms mostly involve error messages such as "While
initializing device, VDD.  Windows Protection Error.  You must restart your
computer."  and "While initializing device, NVRM.  Windows Protection Error.
You must restart your computer."  Some motherboard BIOS' allow for an option to
"Assign IRQ for VGA".  Often times the latest BIOS will also resolve this
problem.  To correct the problem: Boot into the BIOS setup; Look for an option
to enable IRQ for VGA (may be in chipset features or PnP configuration) and set
it to enabled or on; Reboot the system and it should bypass the error.  For
further information please contact your motherboard manufacturer.

When running the DXSETUP.EXE program (which comes with Microsoft's DirectX 
application), the version of the Primary Display Driver will incorrectly be 
displayed as: 0.00.00.0000.  This is an issue with the DXSETUP program.  To get
the correct driver information, run the DXINFO.EXE program from within the same
directory that DXSETUP.EXE is found (on our CD the directory is
DirectX\DirectX5\DirectX).

U.S. 4MB Retail model only:   
Simultaneous output to a TV and a computer monitor is not supported.  To enable
output to a TV, disconnect the monitor cable from the Viper card, attach a TV
cable and restart your system.

Duke Nukem fails to enumerate available VESA 2.0 modes.  This allows you to
select modes which are unsupported, such as 320x400.

Shiny Entertainment's game MDK doesn't handle [CTRL-ESC] task switching to the
desktop properly when in D3D mode.  This can cause application or illegal
operation errors when attempting to do this.
