202.0. "HiNote VP 500 series won't boot after install of PW32" by GIDDAY::COOK (Matt Cook , CSC Sydney Australia) Thu Apr 03 1997 03:11

	G'day All,

		I have an interesting one, I have a Hinote VP 575 , running Win95 , got networking all 
	working, then installed PW32 , with 3com 589 pcmcia card , install went ok however on reboot of
	win95 displays WINDOWS95 screen with scrolling bar at bottom after about 15 sec the hinote powers
	off, I can only start it in safe mode, we have also had a number of customers reporting the same problem
	has anyone seen this, I have tried disable power save settings, this made no difference.


	Thanks,

	Matt Cook

202.2try svgaKERNEL::BURNSTFri Apr 04 1997 11:1417
    Just for daftness try changing the screen type to svga as have had mail
    stating 
    "customer has a new Hinote VP560 and cant get it to boot work with
    Pathworks for
    Windows 95 V1.0a. it will fail then try and boot to safe mode, (no
    network).
    When booting you get the banner then it reboots to safe mode. There is
    not even
    a boot.log"
    
    Solution:
    Problem was due to the factory installed display driver, NeoMagic,
    changed to standard SVGA, now client boots with win95/pw95 and on network.

	Just to let you all know, there is a new version of the NEOMAGIC 
	driver that corrects this problem.
	Version is v5.35

Many thanks for a quick reponse.
