SYMPTOMS
During Windows 2000 Setup, a blank screen with vertical lines may appear. After Setup restarts your computer, your screen may appear to be normal for a period of time, then the vertical lines may reappear during the graphical user interface (GUI) portion of Setup.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you are using a video adapter with the Trident 9660 chip set. Windows 2000 does not provide support for the Trident 9660 chip set.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, use a supported video adapter.



MORE INFORMATION
Trident Microsystems no longer supports the Trident 9660 chip set. For this reason, Windows 2000 does not include a driver for this chip set. For additional information, please contact Trident Microsystems.
