[amsat-bb] InstantTrack & ATI video card. Fix for garbage on map

[sherebri@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Dr. M.H. Sherebrin)]

Many thanks for the helpful responses to my question about the ATI All in
Wonder video card and garbage on InstantTrack map screen.  I tried two
solutions and both worked.  The patch on the InstantTrack FAQ worked but in
view of their recommendation about slowing the program I found an ATI fix on
their web site (www.atitech.com) called 64VBE221.exe which expanded to a
program M64vbe.com (and some docs) that I am using now.  With my Pentium 100
I did not see any lag in the calculations with either solution.  Below are
listed edited responses. 

73 and thanks again to all,

This is a known issue with some video cards. There are two solutions.
Look at the InstantTrack FAQ at http://www.amsat.org/amsat/intro/itfaq.html#025
for the answers you need.

I have just the same problem so will be looking with interest
to any possible replies to this one.

I am using the ATI All in Wonder and after installing their drivers I have
had no problems.

The Instant Track FAQ file at www.amsat.org, has a description of this
problem.  It is in the Feature Articles section of the web page.  Their
downloadable files area has a patch to fix it.

There's a patch that comes with the original disk for this problem

> Not on my original disk which is MANY years old.  I just checked.
