    		  Manhattan G 560/590 and Windows 95 Installation

    PROBLEM

    When installing Windows 95 on the Manhattan G 560/590 system, after viewing
    the screen 'Getting ready to run Windows 95 for the first time', the system
    reboots and a screen indicating that Windows did not finish loading appears,
    and a selection of modes for loading Windows 95 comes up.

    CAUSE

    The installation of an improperly configured ISA network card affected Windows
    95's evaluation and configuration of the board and operating system.

    SOLUTION

    1. When installing an ISA network board into the Manhattan G systems, review
       the configuration of the board, such as IRQ and I/O settings.
       These settings are either:

         a. hardware oriented; found by checking the documentation
    	supplied by the manufacturer and referencing the switches
    	or jumpers on the board, or

         b. software functional; the software supplied by the
    	manufacturer of the card will configure the board.

    2. Run the ISA Configuration Utility and add the network board using the
       accurate hardware or software settings for the card.

    3. Proceed with the Windows 95 installation.
