Trouble Shooting ================ IF YOU BOOT NT AND THE SCREEN DOES NOT SYNCHRONIZE PROPERLY, DO THE FOLLOWING: Reboot the system to NT, but hit the space bar immediately when prompted. Select 'Use Last Known Good' in the Configuration Recovery Menu. This approach assumes the last configuration was a valid configuration, however. If the 'Last Known Good' method does not apply to your case, try selecting the VGA option from the system boot menu. Selecting this option will boot NT with the VGA driver instead of the GL Display Driver. At this point you can reinstall the Display Driver. If all else fails: Reboot the system to DOS and remove the file WCGMPD.SYS in the directory %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. Reboot the system again and boot into VGA mode. Since the Intense3D Wildcat Pro Miniport Driver has been removed, NT will use the Microsoft standard VGA driver. Re-install the Wildcat Display Driver using the Display Properties page. Reboot the system. Following the reboot, select an acceptable resolution using the Display Properties page. If your system does not have DOS (NT only), and your installation of NT uses the standard DOS file system (FATFS), you may boot from floppy, then remove this file from the system drive. If your NT system was built on OS/2, or if your NT resides on HPFS, you may boot from an OS/2 system recovery (boot) floppy and remove the file. If you have an NTFS- formatted system disk, you will need to reload the NT Operating System (DO NOT choose to reformat your system disk during reinstallation; this will erase the data on your hard drive).
