    Hello all,
    I am looking for a patch or a solution that may help with my problem.
    I have a few favourite older games that I would like to install.
    They require a VESA graphics adapter. Does anybody know of any patches or workarounds that may help with this problem.
    I have an ASUS m/b that has a ProSavage S3 Graphics Inc. adapter on board.
    Due to ram limitations it has 16 mb of ram allocated to it. This is adjustable with more ram.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Cheers
    Graeme

    VESA - takes me back a bit !

    Can you give a bit more info as to what games are involved - it should be possible to run a TSR into memory for the graphics card but I'm digging for it at the mo so any more detail would be good

    Hi AndyO,
    Two of the games are "Ripper" and "Seventh Guest ".
    I do not have a vesa card installed so what I am looking for is some way of having my on board video emulate vesa so that the games will run through it.
    My current screen settings are 800 x 600 at 32 bit colour qaulity.
    I hope that is enough information.
    Cheers and thanks
    Graeme
