I know have to re-create this type of effect and I cant remember where that update/plug-in can be found. If anyone has a pointer, can you please forward it directly to me, as I only read the list at home. Thank you, Also, I have been having problems with our new computer here, a Dell Dimension 410 dual P-3 550 with 512 mb of ram and a 32 Mb diamond Viper 770D running the Riva TNT 2 drivers. On a frequent basis, I loose the mouse cursor. It either dissapears completely, or it turns into a large square that looks like an abstract painting and I can't get to the menus. From that point I have to keyboard my way out of the system and reboot. I've tried Dell's web site, but I can't find newer drivers for the card. I was wondering if anyone else has this system or this problem (or both) and found a solution to it? If so please contact me here directly. Thank you in advance for your help.
