After some experimenting, I came to the same conclusion as you did. The display
driver from the ATI Technologies web site worked perfectly before MapInfo
version 6.0, but wrecked havoc once I tried using the new 3DMaps. Installing a
driver from the Compaq web site solved it for me. The details:
System: Compaq Deskpro
Processor: Pentium 500
OS: Windows 95
Display: Rage Pro Turbo AGP 2x
Driver that didn't work: 4.11.2560
Driver that does: 5.26-C9S
Thanks for your help!

I am getting the error message "SetPixelFormat failed" when I create a 3D
map
with version 6.0, specifically when I try the Viewpoint Control option.
Does
anyone out there have any suggestions?
This sounds like a display driver problem. We did experience this but were
unable to reproduce it. Once the application is running this should not
happen. Our simple suggestion would be to upgrade the display drivers. We
would like to get some more information about OS/Display Type/Driver
version.
