SUMMARY
=======

When installing Microsoft Windows on a computer using a Hewlett-Packard (HP)
8514 Ultra VGA card or an Appian Rendition video card, you should select
standard VGA (640 x 480) as your display driver. If you choose another driver,
then Windows Setup hangs.

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

Do not use the ATI or HP drivers while installing Windows 3.1. Use the standard
VGA.DRV. After installation, switch to the OEM drivers using maintenance mode
Setup. This may also require a BIOS upgrade depending on the age of the
adapter.

This may also be true for the ATI Graphics Ultra because the HP Ultra VGA and ATI
Graphics Ultra share BIOS versions.
