Also true, but from Tim's initial posting (and following one) on this topic, I assumed the conversation was more geared to FractInt running in a Windows XP environment and not displaying images correctly. This is the first mention of the Win-98 OS for this topic (unless there have been private ones).
But I do see that FAT might be necessary for the standalone DOS boot.
Exactly. My initial post was confusing. We could easily distribute Fractint as an ISO file for a freedos-bootable CD. To make this work you would need a FAT or FAT32 partition on the computer top save images. This might be daunting for beginners, but for others it's simple. Kinda brings back memories to run DOS on my new PC :-) Everybody should understand that the Athlon is not necessarily the culprit on my new PC. I have had zero problems with this PC for any other purpose, including running Windows XP and numerous flavors of Linux. I will try to debug the problem. It may be video-related. I could try swapping out the video card and see what happens. The video card uses AGP, which, of course, Fractint never dreamed of ... Tim
