Jeff, >>Please tell me how you got through the install process. As I said at the beginning of this thread, I have an Intel P90 Motherboard and after setup switches to VGA mode the screen goes haywire. The boot sector has been updated but I can't get past this point to finish the install. You mentioned that the NT 3.1 drivers work but I don't know how to get to the point of selecting them. HELP!!! << I must admit that I cheated there !!! I have a second system and I nicked the display adapter out of that during installation (et4000 type!!). However, once installed, I had to go into DOS and copy the S3.DLL and S3.SYS from the diamond utils/NT disc into the \windows\system32 and windows\system32\drivers directories (saved the old ones just in case!!). Having done that it was all OK and I could select a new display mode etc. BUT the new mode cannot be tested !!!!! before commiting it to a reboot, so make sure it is OK for your monitor. You will get warnings about using old drivers, but as they only happen on my system when I change display modes, it's not a problem. Good Luck Graham
