Many new video cards don't support the old DOS VESA interface that FractInt relies on to get good video modes. The 360x480 is an old "Mode X" display hack that actually works on just about every video card, because it doesn't rely on the VESA interface that's no longer supported. The FractInt discussion list had some talk about this not too long ago; the practical suggestion was to dual-boot into DOS, but that won't help if your video card isn't providing the support FractInt needs. My personal opinion is that UF is worth every penny of that $49, but I'm biased, so don't take my word for it. (smile) It's free to try for a while. --Damien
