SYMPTOMS
========
When you upgrade from Windows NT version 3.51 to Windows NT version 4.0, the
system may stop responding on the subsequent restart while entering the
graphical user interface (GUI) portion of setup. When you use a Trident
TGUI94XXAGI video adapter and the Windows NT 3.51 driver from Trident, the
system may stop responding after carrying out the NTDETECT command while the
operating system loader displays the following message:
Microsoft (r) Windows NT TM Version 4.0 (build 1381). 1 System Processor
[32 MB Memory]
No error messages are displayed.
CAUSE
=====
The Windows NT 3.51 video driver supplied by Trident for the AGI series video
adapter, Agi.sys, is not compatible with Windows NT 4.0.
