I Get 'VFAT Errors' with My Windows* 98 Driver on My Gigabit Desktop Adapter

Symptom(s):
When installing the Windows* 98 driver for the Intel Gigabit Desktop adapters, the installation runs smoothly.

Upon reboot, the customer receives a "VFAT Device initialization Failed" error and can only boot into Safe Mode.

Solution:
Install PROSet if the utility hasn't already been installed. Go to "Advanced Settings" and locate the Transmit Descriptors and Receive Descriptors. Reduce the number to 80.

Reboot.

This applies to:
Intel® PRO/1000 CT Network Connection
Intel® PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter
Intel® PRO/1000 T Desktop Adapter
