- The display looks bad because you misinstalled it. Keep on reading.

- Unfortunately, Mr. Charlap has been promulgating incorrect information on
- comp.os.os2.misc. As Alok Dhir first reported....
-
- DO NOT USE DPINSTL.EXE TO INSTALL THE ET4000 DRIVERS!!!

- I hate to scream like this, but this misinformation is being perpetuated.
- Use the selective install and do exactly what it tells you to do -- eventually,
- it will get you to the Service Pack's driver diskettes. If you don't install
- it correctly, parts of your display will look shitty and your system will
- be unstable because you are missing important parts of the video output
- system (like fonts).
