    		    Ascentia J and Windows 3.11 Logo Flashing

    PROBLEM

    For Windows 3.11, when choosing a standard VGA driver, the Windows Logo
    screen will flash during Windows startup in the Ascentia J system.
    Some VGA operations could be abnormal with standard VGA drivers.

    CAUSE

    With the advanced built-in VGA chip, the dedicated C&T VGA drivers are
    supported for Windows 3.11, Win95, and other operating systems.  Standard
    VGA drivers are not required to be compatible with the latest hardware
    chipset.

    SOLUTION

    Please install the VGA drivers that AST bundles with pre-installed hard disk
    drives.
