Why are you using NT? Can you use Windows 98? Have you looked at the 98
wrapper solution. http://thethin.net/wrapper.zip

Subject: [THIN] A challenge!
Here's one for the pros.
I'm in the process of converting some elderly PCs (Mostly Pentium 75-120)
into DOS based thin terminals. All is fine unless I use an S3 based video
card, at which point there is about a 10% chance of extremely weird colours
when the NT login prompt appears.
Picture the NT login box. Now picture it with all the white areas flashing
through a 16 colour palette, spending about 0.25 seconds on each colour.
This only seems to happen with S3 cards and I've seen it with 4 different
chipsets so far on a choice of Intel motherboards. I've ordered a few
alternative graphics cards but the only PCI models I can get have, wait for
it, S3 Savage 4 processors.
I know it's a long shot but has anyone met and solved this one in the past?
Regards
Angus
