Compaq MP HAL (HALSP.DLL) Fixed a problem with the year 2000 if the OS is running during transition. Compaq NetFlex-3 Controller Updated the Compaq NetFlex-3 driver to disable autonegotiation in the Physical Layer (PHY) when both speed and duplex are set, thus enhancing network connections. Compaq Support Software Setup Utility Updated the Setup application to display the new SSD version number. Compaq System Management Driver Updated the System Management driver version number from 2.55.01 to 2.57.01. Corrected a problem with correctable memory error messages in the Windows NT Event Viewer. Corrected a problem with marking entries in the Critical Error Log as "corrected" via Compaq Insight Manager. Corrected a problem on Compaq Professional Workstations configured with the Compaq System Management driver in which applications that cause a floating point exception could cause the Workstation to hang. A ROM upgrade is required to fully correct the problem; upgrade the system ROM to any version dated 12/17/97 or later. STB Systems MVP Workstation Graphics Controller Added support for the new STB Systems MVP Workstation Graphics Controller video display driver for Windows NT 3.51.
