CAUSE

All of the Diamond Viper video cards listed above use the Weitekp9 video chip set. The Weitekp9.sys and the Mvaudio.sys drivers try to use overlapping I/O resources.

RESOLUTION

Replace the Weitekp9-based video card with another video card that is on the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) but doesn't use the Weitekp9 chip set.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.5 and 3.51. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
