SYMPTOMS
The ATI Graphics Pro Turbo PCI video adapter seems to be detectable, but
any screen resolution settings other than 640 x 480 are not retained after
restarting the system. The settings revert to the 640 x 480 resolution.
CAUSE
The Windows NT 4.0 version of the ATI Graphics Pro Turbo PCI video adapter
driver will only allow 640 x 480 display resolution.
RESOLUTION
Acquire the Windows NT driver version 3.1.76 or later display driver set
from the ATI Web site.
This driver release resolves an issue with 3D PRO TURBO 8MB products
displaying only 640 X 480 resolution. The filename for the driver set is
as specified below for the appropriate version of Windows NT:
Windows NT 4.0 NT40-176.exe Size: 499K Date: 02-27-97
Windows NT 3.51 NT351176.exe Size: 486K Date: 02-27-97
Windows NT 3.5 NT35-176.exe Size: 494K Date: 02-27-97
