SYMPTOMS
Diamond Stealth 64 2001 series video cards use the S3 trio64V+ chip set
and are not supported by the normal S3 video driver supplied with Windows
NT. During Windows NT Setup your computer may hang while performing the
video test or later while booting into Windows NT after the installation is
complete. WORKAROUND
In Windows NT Setup, perform a custom installation. When the computer
configuration screen displays:
