SYMPTOMS
Windows NT may fail during setup on the Olivetti 486/33 M480-20 with the following error message:
CAUSE
The Olivetti 486/33 M480-20 has an option for PS/2 mouse compatibility in CMOS setup; this option is on by default.
RESOLUTION
To allow Windows NT to set up, disable the PS/2-compatible mouse port option in CMOS. If you are using the PS/2 mouse port on this computer, Windows NT will not run. A serial mouse on either COM1 or COM2 must be used.
The Olivetti product included here is manufactured by Ing. C. Olivetti, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1 and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
