Installation 3.1 Installing ELSA graphics board for Windows 95/98 Remove your "old" VGA and put the ELSA graphics board into your computer. If your ELSA graphics adapter contains a VGA-switch, be sure that it's position is set to the "1" position (VGA enabled). On startup Windows 95/98 detects the ELSA graphics board as "PCI early VGA Device" or a "PCI standard VGA adapter" and prompts for a manufacturer disk. Now browse through the ELSA CD and select the proper display driver subdirectory (eg. VICTORY2\ WIN9x). Windows will copy the driver files and prompt you to reboot the computer. After restarting, Windows is running with the ELSA display drivers active. If your ELSA graphics adapter is not the primary display adapter, you have to activate it by clicking on the connected monitor bitmap in the global windows display settings. The installation routine will additionally create the ELSA Settings and ELSA DirectX Settings property pages. In all following Windows sessions you can change the resolution without rebooting your system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.
