Before installing the software, turn off your computer and install the ASUS AGP-
5200 board according to the hardware installation instructions. Start your computer
using the non-VGA mode option [from the OS Loader, highlight and choose the
Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00 option; the other option is Windows
NT Workstation Version 4.00 (VGA Mode)]. New display drivers cannot be
installed when the machine has been started with the VGA Mode option.
Once started and you have logged in as an Administrator, follow these steps :
1 On the Control Panel window, double-click the Display program icon, and
then click the Settings tab.
2 Click the Display Type.... The Display Type window will appear.
3 On the Display Type window, click Change.... The Change Display window
will appear.
4 On the Change Display window, click Have Disk .... The Install from Disk
window will appear.
5 Type the path A:\. Insert the release floppy disk for your machine architecture
into the drive and press OK. The Change Display window will appear with a
list containing a single entry that says "ASUS AGP-V5200". Select this item
and press OK.
6 Follow the onscreen instructions and quit Control Panel. When prompted,
restart your computer by pressing Yes.
NOTE There are no options to select a given resolution during installation.
When the machine restarts, Windows NT 4.0 allows the video mode to be
dynamically changed without the need to restart.
Your computer will now shut down. On restart, choose the non-VGA mode option (see
earlier procedure for choosing this option). Your computer will restart using the AGP-
V5200 as the display device. You can check this by double-clicking the Display program
icon again on the Control Panel window and then clicking the Change Display Type...
button. The Display Type window should report that it is running the AGP-V5200.
To change the desired resolution, color depth, and refresh rate, double-click the
Display program icon on the Control Panel window and select the desired
resolution, color depth and vertical refresh rate. This selected mode can be tested
to ensure that it can be handled by the monitor. On some double buffered
applications a higher refresh rate allows higher frame rates to be achieved. The
display will change dynamically.
