	It seems that windows setup isn't perfect (what else??) and it
mistakenly puts EGA.SYS into your CONFIG.SYS file. It definitely is NOT needed
for an SVGA board! In fact I have some driver readme's that tell you to delete
it after setup puts it there! 


	So, just delete it from you CONFIG.SYS and proceed and things should
work just fine. 


	The Paradise drivers cause it to show up, and I haven't had it my
CONFIG.SYS on three machines with no problems and things work correctly.
