I just tried the setup, based on the copy of the how-to I printed
yesterday, and had the following error when I tried to start the system:
Direct Draw Init Failed
I researched on the MS web pages and found the following support
article, which you may want to reference in the how-to:
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q261/4/50.ASP
There appears to be a hardware/driver problem with cetain video cards
based on the following
chip sets:
Cirrus Logic 54xx
S3 Trio 32/64/64V+
S3 Vision 864/964
Trident TGUI 9440/9470
Trident TVGA 8900/9000
I am searching for upgrade info, specific to the Cirrus Logic video
controller in my NEC, if you want that info also let me know.
