Fractint usually doesn’t run properly on WinXP? Dang, I didn’t know that… I’ve been running it on XP Pro from the git-go. Maybe that accounts for certain anomalies that I often encounter. E.g., if I use anything other than z for the bailout comparison, the image usually appears as if the iteration count was set to around 35 or so… The program seems to be performing otherwise very well, but I guess I should someday vet a bunch of formulas in both 98 and XP to see what discrepancies are there to discover…

I have only heard of a couple of individuals successfully running FractInt under MS-Windows XP, and achieving an image size greater than 300x400.

The quickest and easiest resolution is to create a DOS boot disk from a Win-95/98 system and use that to run FractInt. But you still may need to do some adjustments to get those higher resolutions, though nothing more than a 256-color image.
