More on Enhanced video/755cd



I tried out a hunch and downloaded the enhanced video drivers for win95
for the 760CD to try out on my 755CD.  The video capture card on both of
them is the V7320 so I figured they might work.  And in fact they do, and
it gives you an additional feature, an MCI overlay driver which you can
use from win95 media player that gives you a video in window that you can
resize dynamically by just clicking on the corners and stretching it.  
There is one caveat however, for some reason you must use your original
V7320APM.EXE driver that is loaded in you config.sys, so before you
install these drivers make a copy of v7320apm.exe under a different name
then copy it back.  If you use the one that comes with the 760cd disk,
then the video input window will not work after resuming from suspend
mode if it was open when you went into suspend mode.  
The file to get from the IBM ftp site is vetpfw95.exe.
Perhaps if someone from IBM is reading this they could change the files on
the ftp site so that at least the mci overlay driver is included with
755cd dtiver diskette.

The changes the vetpfw95.exe file will make to your config files are as
follows:

config.sys:
replaces v7320apm.exe and v7320mgr.exe  

system.ini:
in [boot] on drivers= adds c:\v7320\v7320pnl.dll

in [386enh] replaces v7320.386 with new version
in [drivers] replaces v7320cap.drv and v7320rdr.drv with .dll versions
in [MCI] ads Overlay=v7320ovl.dll


Remember for it to work properly (this was my experience) with
suspend/resume you must use your old v7320apm.exe in config.sys, all the
other files you can let it overwrite.
