Heyo,
To avoid getting into too much detail, I have a 16-bit ISA ComputerEyes 1024 video grabber card. It operates in 2 modes, Compatibility and Performance. Compatibility is for grabbing frames through I/O ports, but Performance mode uses a 32K address space in the upper memory area to record motion clips.

In order to enable Performance mode one has to "configure your memory manager to "exclude" the 32K shared-memory area before starting Windows". I've taken this sentence from a very helpful review since I can't find the manual (http://www.miken.com/winpost/oldart/ce1024/ce1024.htm). It also says "The shared-memory area must be located at segment hex C000, C800, D000, or D800".

Anyways, I'm not sure how to correctly exclude this 32k area. Based on this, I've set the jumpers and added X=C800-CFFF to config.sys. I might be on the right track, as doing that gives me an error when loading the software in Win 3.1 (WEYES causes a General Protection Fault in module CE1024.dll at 0001:0B73.) What gives? Any advice? Thanks!

Which OS are you running - apparently performance mode won't work in Windows 95

Which hex address do you have the card set to - the default is 230h, but the settings shown in your 2nd link may be wrong (seems they've transposed 230h with 260h). According to the Digital Vision archive, these are the correct hex settings

Are you using the latest software release for your OS...

Interesting! I'm running 1024w107.exe on Windows for Workgroups 3.11. When I got the card all the switches were off (up position) except 7 and 8 (down position), I assumed that was for hex 230 (the software detects 230 too). Moving 7 and 8 up does change the hex to 260, and the software automatically detects that. The website you sent me says that all the switches need to be on except for 7 and 8. That doesn't seem to be correct, given the card says that the down position is on.

Have a look thru the Digital Vision website - https://web.archive.org/web/19961102112258/ht … www.digvis.com/ - the card is their product, and the source of the setup guide extract...maybe you'll spot something I missed.

Will do. Also, where did you get the ce1024fix.exe and 1kntv101.exe?

Same archive website as above

Awesome! The ce1024fix.exe works, I can access performance mode now. Another question, would you happen to know what cable is supposed to be used for RGB? Looks to be a 9 pin d-sub connection, bit confused if its similar to vga or ypbpr?
