SYMPTOMS
========

When you install Windows NT 4.0, the STB PowerGraph Video VLB adapter in your
computer may be detected as a VGA-compatible display adapter.

CAUSE
=====

The STB PowerGraph Video VLB adapter uses an S3-765 chip set. This chip set is
supported with Windows NT 4.0 only on a PCI bus.


RESOLUTION
==========

Windows NT 4.0 installs and uses the VGA-compatible display driver and functions
correctly, but you cannot use any of the performance advantages of the display
adapter.
