		  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.
