III. Windows 95 OSR2.1

IMPORTANT!

The ASUS AGP-V2740 requires its own IRQ to work normally.

If you have problems during installation, please check your BIOS setting or moth-

erboard jumpers to make sure that "VGA IRQ" has been enabled.

Both Windows 95 and Windows 95 OSR2.0 support AGP cards, but to take advan-

tage of all the AGP features, you must use Win95 OSR 2.1 or later and install the

ASUS VGARTD driver (see III. Windows 95 OSR2.1, Install VGARTD).

To install Win95 OSR2.1, you must have OSR2.0 installed already. Otherwise, first

install OSR2.0 and then use the USB support update (you must use the same update

language of your Windows language) to upgrade to OSR2.1. On the April 1997

MSDN Disc-1 "Windows 95, SDKs, and Tools", OSR2.0 is found in "\OSR2" while

the USB support update is found in "\OSR2\USBSUPP". To determine the installed

version of the operating system, look in the registry at:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Version

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\VersionNumber

OSR2.1 has Version "Windows 95" and VersionNumber "4.03.1212" or "4.03.1214".

Only Windows98 Beta3 or later supports full Direct3D and AGP features. If you are

not using Beta3 or later, you must upgrade your Windows before installing the AGP

display driver.

NOTE:

This Manual assumes that your CD-ROM disc drive is drive D: and that

Windows 95 is in C:\Windows. Replace either with the actual location, if necessary.
