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
