6. This will bring the Select Device dialog box to the

video driver files. Enter the location (either
C:\OmniBook\drivers\nt\video or any other location that
has the correct driver) of the driver files.
8. Windows NT will bring up a new window with the
NeoMagic model selected. Choose Install to install the
NeoMagic video driver for Windows NT.

the NeoMagic video adapter. Enter the correct driver then
choose Continue.

video driver installed.
12. After restarting the HP OmniBook with Windows NT 3.51
the default display resolution has been temporarily used by

the Display option in Control Panel to configure the
adapter. Choose OK at this prompt then under Display
Settings change the Desktop Area to 800 by 600 pixels and
set the colors to 256 (if desired). Then choose Test to
