I went into their archive, and they have 4 drivers for win98, can someone help me, I don't know which one of them to download, I need to decide between 1.Windows 9x 9.10.30 2. Windows 9x 9.50.05 or this 3.DVI w/localization Windows 9x 9.50.05 . I have no idea what the difference between 9.10.30 and 9.50.05 and that DVI in the 3rd choice is. Can anyone explain that to me?

Here we go, almoust 2 weeks later I got a reply. Dear valued customer, Thank you for contacting Diamond Legacy Product Support. To solve this issue, I would suggest installing the reference drivers instead of the Diamond Drivers. The reference drivers provide full support with OpenGL and DirectX. 1) Go to www.s3graphics.com 2) Select Drivers from the top nav bar. 3) Read through the driver downloads instructions to access the drivers. 4) Once you are in the driver page, select the folder labeled "410drv" 5) Then select the drivers for your Windows O/S from the choices. Save the appropriate file to your desktop. Once you have completed the download, close out of all your programs and execute the file. The file should be a .zip file in which case you will need to create a new folder on your desktop to place these drivers. Make sure you remember exactly where you saved these drivers to. Set your video adapter to Standard VGA using the instructions below. Setting the Standard VGA Driver 1. Click on Start 2. Click on Control Panel 3. Click on Display. The Display Properties dialog appears. 4. Choose the Settings tab and click on the Advanced button 5. Click on the Adapter tab and 6. Click on the Change button. The Update Device Wizard appears. 7. Click Next and select Display a list.... 8. Click Next and select and Show all Hardware. 9. Click on Standard Display Adapter Types and select Standard Display Adapter (VGA). 10. Click Next. 11. If a warning dialog appears, asking whether you want to use this driver, click Yes. 12. Then click Next. 13. Windows asks you if you want to restart your computer. Click Yes. Your O/S registry no longer has the drivers for the video card in it because you set your adapter to standard VGA. C) Start your system back up again. Whenever the add new hardware wizard pops up, direct the wizard to the folder you saved those reference drivers to on your desktop and install the reference drivers.

I think I have made my point. Any other questions that we can settle instead of going back and forth making points that are useless and unorganized?

That's why we need to get as many of them as we can. What do you expect us to do? Forget about the 11th, the Kole bombing, the 300 marines dead, and say hey, sorry you feel that way about us, your complaint has been noted. The 11th was just the straw that broke the cammels back, it's not the sole reason for the retaliation. When 300 marines died because of terrorists did US bomb? No, it tried to talk, when Cole(spelling) was bombed did we retaliate? Again no. Now it's just too much, if we do nothing then they will continue attacking, and we loose something everytime they do, while they just get stronger, well it's time for them to loose something, maybe then we can at least have 10 years of peace, but maybe next time we will just say to hell with this and wipe out terrorist supporting countries once and for all. So, you are still missing the point, it just sounds like you are suggesting that US should back down and forget about this. Well, I am tired of UN and all other countries and people saying what the US should and should not do. They can either help us or stay out of our way, because I don't want there to be anymore 11th, or any other loss of life because of those people who think that their way of life is the only way and you should die if you don't adhere to their standards. So diplomacy obviously doesn't work, going easy on them doesn't work either, all they understand is force so maybe a few of the terrorists supporters will get a jolt of seing their family die and start thinking if they really support osama and terrorist networks so much that they are willing to die for it. So tell me Menchise, how do you think US should handle this?

Menchise, what you don't understand is we don't want to just kill osama and other leaders, we need to kill as much people in their organization and their supporters as possible because if we just kill the leaders then new leaders will arise, on the other hand if we kill leaders, people in the organization and supporters (civilians that support terrorists are included in my opinion) then it will be much harder for terrorists to exist in the future. So that's why their cities are being bombed, last time I checked the majority of the population was supporting terrorists, and I don't care what they look like after the attack, they should have thought of that before they said that osama is their chosen one and all who are not of islamic faith is an infidel and mush die. Also I am still very pissed about our people who died in those crashes, and anyone who does that and supports that kind of action shouldn't exist in this world. Also don't tell me "well look at US, isn't it doing what terrorist are doing" NO, it's not doing what the terrorists are doing, US doesn't go around cilling people and destroying cities just because it thinks some form of government is too nosy or just because their people don't belive in some form of religion or other, we do it when you mess with our people and I hope that they destroy or do as much damage as possible to every one of those terrorist supporting countries because the more damage we can do to them the more time we can have peace.

I played Starflight on Genesis, still have the system and the game.

By the way Menchise, when osama desides to PURIFY Australia, I will turn on my tv and see the peace demonstrations put their arms together and welcome the first nuclear, biological, or chemical missle, or maybe a plane into their cities, I will not stand by and let that happen in the country where I live.

Millions supporters? Well then if those millions want to loose their life then they are welcome to, no skin off my back, and I will not have the slightest feeling of compashion for them because they know what osama does, and what he wants to do and they support him so it's either them or it's me, what do you think I am going to choose?

LOL, that's way too funny. What are their complaints?

I am even toying with the idea of moving to Hawaii. My instructor moved there a couple of months ago and says the water is clean and warm. So when he has free time he just tans and surfs, and the life is so much more relaxed there.

After BCM I will be waiting for Silent Hunter II, and then for BCM add ons.

Drilling off the coast of California? I don't like that idea. I know that oil companies say that it's all clean but have you ever been at the beaches of Gulf of Mexico? The water there is gunk. You will go in and come out all covered in some weird oily stuff. I sometimes like to serf and hang out at the beach in the summer so does most of the bay area, if they start drilling near the coast then a whole lot of people will be pissed off including me so I don't think that that will happen.

Why do I see so many whys?

Yeah, you know what happened to that guy you call McVeigh, he was executed, and that's what will happen to osama and other terrorists. The reason for the war is we can't just go around their cities looking for osama and his buddies because then our people will be killed, therefore we kill the supporters and protectors of osama to get to him and other terrorists. Yes, there is some colateral damage, but at least we try to minimize it, terrorists on the other hand aim for killing civilians. See the difference? Now try and understand how stupid/damaging/ and embarassing those peace protests are. It's like part of the population is trying to protect the other part of the population that says "Hey, we want to be safe, but we don't want you to fight for our safety". Well, then if you don't want us to fight for your safety then why don't you go and try to PEACEFULLY convince those who would hurt us to not do so.

Yeah, aim for them first, creatures later. What do you think would happen if they would declare the cow endangered and abused because it can't run wild?

Actually the war is racist. Osama wants to kill everyone (and he said so in his enterview, and other multiple remarks) that every Arab should take up arms and take every opportunity to kill someone who is not Arab and doesn't belive in Islam.

There is no newtonian model because if you use it then it would be only fair to have the computer use it too, but here comes the problem of "teaching" the computer to use that model and make him expert at it. But for what it's worth the flight model has been changed drastically from BC3000AD, and now handles pretty good. Bigger ships take longer to turn, less manuverable and have different speed attributes. Also bahave differently in planets atmosphere and space.

Those are the 2500 more people that should be shipped to Afghanistan.

So, that patch is even more unsupported than BC3000AD itself?

Oh God, oh noooo, This stuff is a killer. I can't stop laughing.

Don't even get me started on enviromentalists. The guy who founded the green peace left it because he was so ashamed of what it has become. In my drastic opinion (like always) they should be put in a cage and fed to some kind of endangered shark.

Yeah, well ok, lets not drag this out and keep it on track. Anyway, end result if anyone has the same card and does a search for it. Diamond Viper II z200 does not support DX8. Diamond customer support is non existent (been almoust a week and no reply to any of the e-mails). And basically I am left with a card which is 2 years old, has 32 mb memory but is useless (the only good part is I didn't pay for it, a friend lend it to me). So if you have this card then upgrade it to something else, and remember to choose a company that has customer support because in the end that's what really counts because even if they mess up and you catch it they will fix it. My recomendation is GeForce 2 which is relativly cheap right (ASUS GF2 is $120) now and Nvidia is famous for it's good drivers and customer support, or if you have a little extra cash or would like the most bang for your buck get a GeForce 3 (you can get a good one from ASUS for $230). http://store.yahoo.com/upsource/video-cards.html A refrence site where you can find some good stuff and get the idea on the prices.

Got a question. What is a money order and how do you get it? I am serious.
