I've spent a little time trying to get it to work. It behaves as if there is no video driver, which is about what I would expect, since Tango wants to install its own driver and I would guess that W2000 says "over my dead body." Remember when just about every program had its own graphics driver? Let us pause for a moment of gratitude for Windows. [ducking rotten fruit....] Then I wrote: "One of us should ask on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list." Naturally, I thought, since I am already subscribed to that list, though I don't have it mailed to me, I'll go look. After some time I did find enough to remind me of what I already knew. The Tango video drivers needed to be patched to make them work with more modern video cards. I had the patched files (for VGA and SVGA) but the .ini file was not pointing to it. Eventually I got it working. Unfortunately, Tango takes over the full screen; I get two copies, on on each monitor. But it *does* run. There are Tango VESA drivers and VESA drivers for many video cards, including one that supposedly works with the G400 series, but it did not recognize my G450 dual head. Bottom line: we can now write Tango Schematics to ASCII, take them into PCAD, and from there into Protel.... I may have more to report tomorrow.
