Hello,

I recently fix an old 486 by changing it graphic card and hard drive. For this i bought this graphic card :
Vlb carte graphique spea v7 Mirage p32 s3 805 chipset 1 mo
852388sl1600.jpg

After a memory upgrade from 4 Mo to 8 Mo i installed Windows 95 but i'm block in 640*480 16 colours

I tried Windows 95 RTM, OSR1 , OSR2.5 and i have the same problem of size and colour.

I found some drivers in your forum which i tried instead of Windows 95 S3 driver's but the problem is still here.

Can someone help me to find a solution ?

Thanks.

Specification of the system :

- Intel 80486 DX2 66 MHz
- 8*1 Mo EDO 30 pins
- Conner ~340 MB HDD
-spea v7 Mirage p32 s3 805
- Actually Windows 95 OSR 1.0

Win95 has the drivers included for the old S3 805 chipset.
As the card is VLB you have to detect it through the non-PnP hardware detection phase. (If you do not choose manually from the list).

I have to check, but I remember some early S3 chip was conflicting with serial ports.
It belonged to the S3 Vision series, I believe.
