Product(s): Microsoft Windows NT
Version(s): 4.0
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): 
Last Modified: 25-FEB-2002

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 
- Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The computer screen becomes distorted if you try to manipulate the Open Database
Connectivity (ODBC) manager on a computer running S3 video with Windows NT 4.0,
Microsoft Office 97, and Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) installed. Applying
Service Pack 1 or 2 does not solve this issue. The only way to restore the
computer screen when it becomes distorted is to restart your computer.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 4.0. We are
researching this problem and will post new information in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
