Hi

You will have noticed that I and several others have been having
problems with running Java3D on cards that use the nVidia Riva TNT
chip, in my particular case the Diamond Viper 550 under Windows 95.

I am pleased to say that I have managed to solve the problems by using
an *older* version of Diamond's drivers!

The drivers I am now using are 4.10.01.0220, filename 550220.exe,
which I obtained from Diamond's European web site. If people have
trouble finding them, let me know and I'll pass them on.

There are still a few inconsistencies, e.g. the presence of a
background image seems to stop hardware acceleration; hopefully this
will be addressed in a future release of Java3D.

I have contacted Diamond support (who have been quite helpful) with
this information - hopefully they'll fix the problems for the next
driver release!

Thanks to everyone who replied, especially Don Scales who gave me the
idea to try using older drivers.

Glenn.
