Can you tell me:

Which Windows it is (95 retail, 95 OSR2 or 98).
The desktop resolution and colour depth at the time, and whether this was the first boot after installing the driver.
Whether 640x480 at 256 colours shows it too, and whether any colour depth draws correctly.
A photo of the screen.
The files V9XBOOT.INI, V9XHW.INI and V9XDD.INI from C:\V9XDIAG, copied after the bad boot (Safe Mode is fine for copying them).

In Device Manager, please also check that the driver is on the first Radeon entry and not on the card’s secondary device.

So far, I’ve only tested it on Windows 98SE; it happens right when you click the "Settings" tab in "Display Properties," but when the screen becomes distorted, the 16 thumbnails aren’t always visible.

haha this is very odd. Quick audit of your files:

The driver starts correctly on your 9250 (640x480, 256 colours), so the fault is something that happens when the Settings tab opens.

Is any ATI software still installed? Add/Remove Programs, the system tray, and for ATI tabs in Display Properties etc. If so, please uninstall it and try again.
Does the screen break only on the Settings tab, or on other tabs too?
Your log shows the driver loading at 09:32, 09:33 and 09:34. Were those three restarts?
If the “16 thumbnails” form shows again, a photo of it would help.

If you have internet access on the machine then if you can install my remote control tool I can review directly.

I don’t have the ATI driver installed—only Velocity and WinVBE—but this issue was already occurring before I installed WinVBE.

I restarted my PC a couple of times to try and reproduce the 16 thumbnails.

The issue only happens when I attempt to change the display settings, so I’m unable to test other resolutions or color depths.

Hi All,

I'm looking for someone with an Intel HD3000 GPU I can use to help add support for that card. PM me.

I have a Dell Vostro 3750 with HD3000 and GT 525M but I don't have access to PM yet.

This looks similar to bad memory. Does it work normally with ati drivers in 2k/xp/v/7?
