5.3 Driver installation
Necessary prerequisites
The instructions in this manual assume that you understand elementary
concepts of MS-DOS and the IBM Personal Computer. Before you
attempt to install any driver or utility you should: know how to copy files
from a floppy disk to a directory on the hard disk, understand the MS-
DOS directory structure, and know how to format a floppy disk. If you
are uncertain about any of these concepts, please refer to the DOS or
Windows user reference guides for more information before you proceed
with the installation.
Before you begin
Before you begin installing software drivers, you should make a backup
copy of the display driver diskette and store the original in a safe place.
The display driver diskette contains drivers for several versions of certain
applications. You must install the correct version in order for the driver to
work properly so make sure you know which version of the application
you have.
5.3.1 Windows setup
These drivers are designed to work with Microsoft Windows 3.1. You
may install these drivers through Windows or in DOS.
Step 1: Install Windows as you normally would for a VGA display.
Run Windows to make sure that it is working correctly.
Step 2: Place the display driver diskette in drive A. In Windows Pro-
gram Manager, choose File from the Options Menu. Then from
the pull-down menu, choose Run . . . . At the command line
prompt, type A:\WINSETUP. Press the <ENTER> key or click
OK to begin the installation. At this point the setup program
locates the directory where Windows is installed. For proper
operation, the drivers must be installed in the Windows subdi-
rectory. Press <ENTER> to complete the installation. Once
completed, the Display Driver Control Panel appears on the
screen. This Control Panel allows you to select and load the
installed drivers.
Another method of installing these drivers is through the File
Manager. Click on Drive A:. Then double-click on WIN-
SETUP.EXE to begin installation.
