I've seen similar behavior myself without changing the video driver, but
merely rebooting from my win98 partition to my NT partition. In my case,
I finally figured out that letting the machine reboot itself wasn't good
enough. Hitting the hard reset button or powering on/off seems to be
the only reliable way to get NT to boot with the "right" video driver.
