Generic Tools

VINFO VINFO displays your graphics card's VESA VBE compliance version, and all supported video modes. Written by StyX/HeadcrasH. Click
UniVBE The last version of UniVBE. Click
UniRfrsh A universal DOS refresh rate utility for use with multi-scan monitors. Four frequencies need to be configured, minimum/maximum, vertical/horizontal. Look in the manual of the monitor and fill in these four frequencies, then run the setup program which writes a text file for the TSR to use. Click
Modified UniVBE If your video card is not being recognized correctly by your game, it might be caused by the fact that some games use a built-in version of UniVBE/SDD
(UVBELib) and are not able to use the VBE BIOS from the video card.

UVBELib generates a driver (univbe.drv) that contains video card specific code.

Just copy the correct univbe.drv file to the game directory, overwriting the existing univbe.drv file, and try the game again.

Win95 driver Windows 95 driver for the Hercules Avance Logic 2301 PCI. I am sure it will also work on Win3.11 and Win95OSR1 machines as well. Hercules was bought out by Guillemot Corporation and they do not warranty the older drivers at all. Click
