SYMPTOMS
The OEMSETUP.INF file, dated 4/8/92, for the Windows Driver Library (WDL) for Windows version 3.1 has an incorrect profile string that causes the wrong resolution ET4000 driver to be installed.

The first time you install the following driver

ET4000 800 x 600 65535 colors (Small fonts) the following driver is actually installed: ET4000 640 x 480 65535 colors

RESOLUTION
To correct this problem:

 Edit the OEMSETUP.INF with a standard ASCII text editor, such as Notepad.  Change the profile string for the ET4000 640 x 480 65535 colors driver from SVGA466 to SVGA446. For example: Before: svga466 = ?:vga446.drv,&quot;ET4000  640x480 65535 colors&quot;...  After: svga446 = ?:vga446.drv,&quot;ET4000  640x480 65535 colors&quot;...  Install the ET4000 800 x 600 65535 colors (Small fonts) driver.

MORE INFORMATION
The profile string for the ET4000 640 x 480 65535 colors driver should be SVGA446 and not SVGA466.

Below is the section of the OEMSETUP.INF showing the error:

svga444 = ?:vga.drv,   &quot;ET4000  640x480    16 colors&quot;... svga448  = ?:vga448.drv,&quot;ET4000  640x480   256 colors&quot;... svga443  = ?:vga443.drv,&quot;ET4000  640x480 32768 colors&quot;... svga466  = ?:vga446.drv,&quot;ET4000  640x480 65535 colors&quot;... ... lvga466 = ?:vga466.drv,&quot;ET4000  800x600 65535 colors (Large fonts)&quot; svga466 = ?:vga466s.drv,&quot;ET4000  800x600 65535 colors (Small fonts)&quot; ...
