okay, what I would do is boot Windows NT into VGA mode, and change the Driver. This can be accomplished by booting into Windows NT VGA mode, then right clicking on your desktop, or by clicking START, then SETTINGS, then CONTROL PANEL, and then DISPLAY. Tab over to the settings panel and Click the Display Type button. It will then show you the adapter which you have installed. There are three options you can choose to do, CANCEL, DETECT and CHANGE. CANCELing will simply bring you out of that screen. DETECTing will bring up a box. This box will say, "WARNING! This option will attempt to install all video drivers so that your graphics adapter can be detected. You will then need to reboot your machince so that drivers can detect the adapter." Now if you choose to do this, Windows NT will install every driver and hope that your adapter matches one of those. PnP on Windows NT really stinks, so this option, unless you have a popular brandname adapter, is not really useful. So you will want to click on CHANGE, which will bring up a box with a two-pane window. In the first pane it will display a list of manufacturers, and in the second pane the available adapters that can be installed. You can look in the first pane and find the manufacturer then in the second pane find the product, which may or may not be there. If you do not find the original adapter(which will probably be dated) you will have to click the HAVE DISK button which will bring up yet another box. In this box you will see a location bar at the bottom where you can enter the location of the driver information file(the .inf which installs your adapter) or if you don't know it, simply click Browse and find it. Once you have found it, click on OK, Windows NT will then proceed to install the driver, and the adapter. This process should overwrite the newly installed driver which caused the problem. This should bring you back to the display properties screen, click OK, then Windows NT will prompt for a reboot, Click OK. When you reboot, make sure to select the normal boot mode, and hope it worked, if not, go back into VGA mode and install a generic driver. This should give you at least some use of your computer. Then call the manufacturer and ask them for support, this problem may have already been reported and they may have a fix for it.
