SYMPTOMS
========

In Microsoft 500 Nations, when you play videos on a computer using a Diamond
Viper Pro video card with the Wieteck P9100 chipset, the screen background may
change to a multicolored or psychedelic pattern.

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

Even though the background pattern is incorrect, the video continues to play
normally, without discoloration.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft 500 Nations. We are
researching this problem and will post new information here in the Knowledge
Base as it becomes available.
