SYMPTOMS
========

When you check the status of your hard disk controller in Device Manager, you
may see a red circle with a slash mark through it to the left of the controller.
In addition, the Animated Cursors may be disabled. (To locate Device Manager,
double-click the System icon in Control Panel and then click the Device Manager
tab.)

CAUSE
=====

These problems occur when you have an E-Z Raid-1 controller card installed. The
E-Z Raid-1 controller card comes with Win32 drivers for Windows 3.1. The Windows
95 drivers are incompatible with this card, forcing paging to take place through
real mode.

RESOLUTION
==========

To correct these problems, run the setup program for the E-Z Raid controller
card (from the original disk), and install the Windows 3.1 drivers.

MORE INFORMATION
================

After you install the E-Z Raid drivers and restart Windows 95, you receive an
error message that reads "Device conflict. Drivers detected that conflict with
the generic ESDI controller. This device will be disabled." You do not receive
this error message the next time you start Windows 95. The drivers added by the
E-Z Raid setup program are TRMINT13.386 and WDCTRL32.386
