Getting VESA version in Visual C++ ?? int 31h Krash.. !

[Skiwo-K]

Hi,

How can I call a real mode interrupt under Visual C++ ???
All my attempts to call any interrupt (even DPMI int 31h) simply crash
the computer.

In fact, I'm trying to get the VESA version of my card in a Visual C++
program,
is there any API to make it, instead of using the old DOS int 10h ?

Please reply to so...@model-fx.com
I hate Spam Mail
Thanx very much ..

You can't. 95/98/and NT do not permit software interrupts from 32 bit
applications running in user mode. You might want to write a 16 bit program
to do that. I'd guess that 95 and 98 will permit that, I don't know about
NT.
