Deinstallation ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 Introduction This file explains how to configure the ELSA graphics driver setup. 1.1 Requirements This software only runs on Windows NT 4.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 Installation NOTE: This software was designed for full functionality under Windows NT 4.0 only! There are several ways to use the ELSA setup: - Using the default setup wizard (2.1) - Using commandline switches (2.2) 2.1 Using the default setup wizard This is the option users should usually choose. Start setup by double clicking the executable. Setup guides the user through the installation process. The user is informed if conflicts or problems are detected, and asked for interaction. 2.2 Using commandline switches This method is for advanced users (System Administrators) to help them setting up machine in a comfortable way. WARNING: Using any of the provided commandline switches is highly dangerous unless you do not exactly know what you are about to do. 2.2.1 The commandline switches All commandline switches do not need leading - or / to function correct. So do not provide these chars otherwise setup may not function as desired. You may provide the switches in any order. If you enter an option twice, the first occurance is used. SILENT Using this option forces the setupwizard to work without most of the userinteraction. If the setupwizard encounters conflicts or problems during the installation process, the setup terminates. ( i.e. Graphics adapter and display driver do not match.) FORCE This option passes any conflicts which have been detected during the setup process. REBOOT If this switch is given, setup does automatically reboot the system upon finishing the installation process. XRES=XYZ At the next reboot the system will start with the provided horizontal resolution. Where XYZ is the decimal value in pixel. YRES=XYZ At the next reboot the system will start with the provided vertical resolution. Where XYZ is the decimal value in pixel. BPP=XYZ At the next reboot the system will start with the provided colordepth. Where XYZ is the decial value in bits per pixel. HZ=XYZ At the next reboot the system will start with the provided frequency. Where XYZ is the decimal value in hz. Expecially the switches concerning the predifined resolution are extremely dangerous. If your attached monitor or display adapter do not function with the provided values, you may even destroy your hardware. Therefore use these switches carefully. Example: setup.exe XRES=1024 YRES=768 BPP=32 HZ=75 forces the system to start with a resolution of 1024x768 in true color at 75 hz. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Deinstallation The ELSA Setup utility has prepared an easy way to deinstall your display adapter software. Call the uninstaller to remove the display adapter driver and all related utilities. The unistaller can be found in the ControlPanel under Add/Remove Software. Double click with the left mousebutton on the entry for the graphics adapter you want to deinstall. When the deinstalltion process has finished, you are liked to reboot the system. After the reboot the system comes up using the standard-VGA resolution.
