Good catch on the parameter difference. I created the par with a cut and paste so there was no damage to the par. Rather if I look at the parameters once the par is loaded they are 100 and 0. But once I start generating the image, if I go back and check, the values are now 16 and 0. I seem to be able to make the value as high as 80 but any higher it goes back to 16.

Before I first posted I put the default .cfg back in just to eliminate that as a variable. So SF5 and SF6 are the same as those you've listed.

I downloaded VS' images and opened them in Fractint. Opening VS' SF5 image in SF5 and changing from
SF5 to SF6 does change the image to his SF6 image, as does opening the SF5 image in SF5 and then
zooming in a bit (to get the same 'resolution' as the SF6 image).

On looking at the pars taken from VS' images, they appear to differ from the FOTD image only in
having 'params=16/0' instead of params=100/0. When both images are opened and the first parameter
is set to 100, you get the FOTD image. Don't know why two images that look different produce the
same image when the same single change is made, which is a more interesting question.

Just in case we've got different fractint.cfg, here are mine:

SF5 ,SuperVGA/VESA Autodetect , 0, 0, 0, 0, 27, 640, 480,256,Works with most SuperVGA

SF6 ,SuperVGA/VESA Autodetect , 0, 0, 0, 0, 27, 800, 600,256,Works with most SuperVGA
