SECTION 3 INSTALL SOFTWARE
Driver packages for S3 Graphics GPUs (from CD or download) should always
include a companion set of display drivers and multi-language utilities.
Depending on the source of your download package, the package may be
compressed, and a driver install tool may also be included.
These instructions detail an initial installation of S3 Graphics driver software.
Step 1. Have your CD with S3 Graphics software available. You will need
it later.
Step 2. Install your board with a S3 Graphics GPU by following the
Hardware Installation instructions in
Step 3. Turn on the system.
Step 4. For Vista: Because your CHROME 400/500 Series GPU is newer
than Windows Vista, the operating system will not be able to
recognize the GPU. As Windows Vista launches, follow any on-
screen prompts as the operating system initially installs a generic
low resolution Microsoft-provided device driver. (Rarely, the
operating system may prompt you for an install location.)
Installation status will be reported.
As the installation finishes, a Windows Vista message box will tell
you if a restart is required. Restart as requested.
To install your vendor- or S3 Graphics-provided software with S3
ScreenToys utilities, proceed from Step 5, below.
