MORE INFORMATION ================ This problem occurs when you use the driver supplied by Thomas Conrad with the TC4145. This is a Plug and Play (PnP) adapter, and PnP must be turned off before the driver will work properly in Windows NT. Use the QSET4145 utility supplied with the adapter--specifically, the -B=D -T=1 switches. This will turn off the PnP boot active and the PnP functionality. ====================================================================== Keywords : Technology : kbWinNTsearch kbWinNTWsearch kbWinNT351search kbWinNT350search kbWinNTW350 kbWinNTW350search kbWinNTW351search kbWinNTW351 kbWinNTSsearch kbWinNTS351 kbWinNTS350 kbWinNTS351search kbWinNTS350search Version : 3.50 3.51 ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
