SYMPTOMS

A computer with an EISA bus running Windows NT version 3.1 may not be able to
start the ATI video adapter driver (any type) with an Adaptec 174x adapter
present, and the following messages may appear in the Event Viewer:

  Event ID: 7026 Source: Service Control Manager Type: Error

  address in data address 0x28 and 0x2c, and length in data address 0x30.

CAUSE

This problem occurs due to the ATI adapter using EISA address space for its
extended registers, thus conflicting with devices situated on or beyond slot 4
on the EISA bus.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct this problem, do one of the following:

  - Place the Adaptec 174x SCSI adapter card on a slot other than slot 4; for
  example, slots 1 to 3.

  -or-

  - Upgrade to Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server version 3.5.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT
Advanced Server version 3.1. This problem has been corrected in Windows NT
Workstation and Windows NT Server version 3.5.

The Adaptec and ATI products discussed here are manufactured by vendors
