SYMPTOMS
When you start the initial text-based portion of Windows NT 4.0 Setup, your computer may stop responding (hang).



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if an NE2000 network adapter is installed in the computer using a port address of 340h.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, either change the I/O port to a port other than 340h, or remove the network adapter for the duration of Windows NT Setup.

Windows NT will run properly with the NE2000 network adapter at I/O address 340h after Setup is finished.



MORE INFORMATION
This problem occurs because of a conflict with the Sparrow.sys driver. This problem occurs whether or not a SCSI device or adapter is installed.
