SYMPTOMS
========
When you try to start Windows 95 for the first time after Setup finishes, you
may receive the following error message:
Windows Protection Error
If you restart Windows 95 in Safe mode, you see an incorrect display device
listed in Device Manager.
CAUSE
=====
Early versions of the NEC Powermate 466 Plug and Play BIOS do not report the
display type correctly.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, restart Windows 95 using the Command Prompt Only
option on the Startup menu. Run Setup again, with the following command:
setup /p i
This command forces Setup to ignore the computer's Plug and Play BIOS.
You may also want to contact NEC to inquire about obtaining an updated BIOS that
resolves this problem.
