- Does the board not work with the default VGA driver the NT will install
- if you don't have a supported board? That would point to something
- fairly unusual. OTOH, I installed NT (plain VGA) and then found ATI
- drivers on Compuserve (where you might want to check for Trident drivers
- in the WINNT forum or, if Trident has its own suppor forum, there as
- well). I know so far of only one ftp site that has any NT specific
- software and none of it it a driver of any sort (ftp.cica.indiana.edu in
- the /pub/pc/win3/nt directory; if anyone knows of other NT ftp sites,
- I'd love to read about it on the list!).

- If it's not installing at all and you've got additional boards (sound,
- fax, whatever) installed, you might want to give the installation anothe
- try after removing "optional" boards...
-
- Good luck!
