SYMPTOMS
========
When you run Windows 95 on a Dell Omniplex 486/66 computer with an ATI Mach32
motherboard display adapter and an NCR SCSI adapter, you may experience one or
more of the following symptoms:
- The computer restarts, or the mouse pointer breaks up into pieces and then
the computer stops responding (hangs) when you select a high-color background
bitmap.
- The computer hangs when you start a program. The display may also be garbled
when this occurs.
- The computer hangs with a garbled display when you are copying files.
CAUSE
=====
These problems can occur on Dell Omniplex 486/66 computers with BIOS revision
number A04. The problem appears to be a conflict between the Mach32 display
adapter and the NCR SCSI adapter.
RESOLUTION
==========
To work around this problem, use either of the following methods:
- Contact Dell to obtain a BIOS upgrade that resolves the problem.
- Add the following line to the [display] section of the System.ini file, and
then restart your computer:
