It a Matrox card, not bad, i think.

Correct, sorry, forgot to mention the OS.

It works fine on an o
lder machine with less memory and a ulta-cheap
VGA card.
But... it works fine now. Here's what i tried:
I replaced the Matox VGA card drivers by the standard windows VGA
driver. As this only supported 16 colors, I changed it back later. And
now labview works fine!. In essence nothing changed, as i've used no
setup disks, only the files that were already in the system directory.
The only thing that has changed is that the Windows default values for
font size, taskbar size etc have returned. These were set larger by a
previous user (i think with bad eyesight).
Thanks for the info!
Erwin.
