A note from S3:

It's come to our attention that Force Commander is having issues with our 9.10.30 driver for the Viper II. S3 has identified the problem and is currently implementing a fix which will be posted on S3's web site (www.S3.com). We are providing an older version of our driver so you start enjoying Force Commander. 

This is only a temporary fix as new drivers should be available soon.  It is commonly not a good practice to load older drivers on your system so only use this driver as a temporary fix to play Force Commander. S3 provides no technical support for this driver since it has been rendered as obsolete. If you experience other problems with this driver, please discontinue use and install the latest driver available on www.S3.com.

The fixed driver for Force Commander will bear a date greater than 3/10/00. Please check www.S3.com in the near future for this driver.
