NeoMagic 256-Color Test Screen Incorrect When Windowed (157512)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
This article was previously published under Q157512

SYMPTOMS

On an Intel-based computer with a NeoMagic display adapter, the adapter does not display the 256-color test in the DISPTEST tool correctly. The DISPTEST tool is included with the Windows NT 4.0 Hardware Compatibility Test Kit.

The test screen is displayed correctly in all modes in full-screen mode, but is displayed incorrectly in windowed mode.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because of an incompatibility between the DISPTEST tool and the NeoMagic video adapter's BIOS.

RESOLUTION

Contact the adapter's manufacturer for information regarding a possible updated driver.
