SYMPTOMS

Windows was unable to use the requested display settings. Please adjust them now.

CAUSE
During an upgrade from Windows 3.1, Windows 95 Setup may incorrectly detect a Western Digital or Paradise 8514/a video adapter as an adapter that can use the default Western Digital video driver included with Windows 95.

RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, install the drivers for the 8514/a-compatible video adapter. These drivers can be found on the Windows 95 installation CD- ROM in the \DRIVERS\DISPLAY\8514 directory.
