Fixes

Installing
Recommended is an older PC using a Pentium 4 era CPU with either Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 or an early VMware version.
Due to this build being unstable, the installation could take several hours.

Partitioning/Formatting
You could need to partition and format the drive before installation, otherwise a bugcheck could happen.

Display Driver
After installation you are greeted with a 4-bit resolution on the Standard VGA Graphics Adapter but Windows installs the compatible driver, but does not enable it.
Follow the following instructions to enable it.

- Right click on the Desktop
- Select Properties and go to the Settings tab
- Click on Advanced and go to the Adapter tab
- Click on Properties and go to the Driver tab
- Click on Update Driver and select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced) and click Next
- Select Don't Search. I will choose the driver to install. and click Next
- Deselect Show only Compatible Hardware and in the left box select S3 Graphics, Inc.
- In the Right Box select the only Driver available S3 Graphics SuperSavage/IXC (Microsoft Corporation) and click next to install the Driver, you run into a Warning just click Yes
- Then you only need to reboot the machine to let the driver load, it will still be on 640x480 resolution but after logging in you can change it via the regular means.
