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:
