Setup/Startup Problems — declared parent_msg_num=(none), resolved parent_id points to #(none)
I have just installed NT, + Service pack 2, from the Developer Platform CD's.
Two problems:
1) I am given a choice of Win 3.1 NT or DOS when I boot. If I select DOS, I
get
lots of disk activity, and a black screen. As Visual C++ 1.5 tells me I
need to
install from Win 3.1, and not NT, I need to get to Windows. How do I do
it?
2) I want to install support for a QIC tape drive. The QIC117.sy_ file can't
be decomp'ed using decomp.exe. How do I decompress it, without creating a
zillion 3 1/2" floppies?
My system is a Zeos 486/66, 16 Meg RAM, Diamond Viper with latest NT drivers,
IDE boot drive, Adaptec 1542 SCSI controller with 1.6 G DEC drive and NEC
tripple spin CD-ROM. I have a Cardinal Sound Card, which NT doesn't seem to
support too well. I am checking with the vendor on that.
Thanks.
John
