Video Driver Installation for Windows NT4.0

IMPORTANT!

Windows NT 3.5x does not support AGP cards.

Before installing the ASUS display driver in Windows NT 4.0, make sure that
you have installed Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack version 3.0 (available on the
Internet at http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/support/bldqpage.idc?Product
Page=q_servpk). Otherwise, the system will hang and will not be able to start up!

For all the AGP features to be available you must be using Windows NT 5.0
(available in the future)

Windows Plug and Play in Windows NT 4.0: (Auto installing drivers)

If an ASUS Graphics device (or ATI compatible) was installed at

one time, Windows NT 4.0 Plug and Play may install ATI’s original driver upon

1. Ener Windows NT 4.0 in safe mode by pressing F5 repeatedly during bootup.
