Installation of Glide3
------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional documentation supplied by Ubi Soft
25 September 1998
The aim of this document is to supplement the documentation
provided by 3Dfx with regard to the installation of Glide3.
Refer to the file "Readme.txt" supplied by the manufacturer
for more detailed information.
Note :
1- Glide3 must be installed only if recommended by the installation
programme for "Hype - the Time Quest".
2- Glide3 must be installed only by users of 3Dfx cards.
3- The method given here is valid only for updating Glide, and
not for new installations.
4- Glide 3 is compatible with Windows95 and Windows98.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow the steps one by one.
** Determining your 3Dfx card **
Users of Voodoo (Voodoo1) cards must use
the executable file "rkvg.exe", whereas users of Voodoo2
cards must use "rkv2.exe".
If you don't know whether your 3D card is a Voodoo1 or a
Voodoo2 card, follow the instructions below. If you know which
your card is, go straight to step 1.
A- Open the "Device Manager"
You will find the "Device Manager" in the following location:
Start / Settings / Control panel / System
then the tab Device Manager
B- Find the reference to your 3D card.
This is found by double-clicking
"Sound, video and game controllers"
Find the reference to your card.
If the reference contains
the word "Voodoo", you have a Voodoo1;
if the word "Voodoo2" appears, you have a Voodoo2.
** PREPARATION OF INSTALLATION FILES **
1- If you are using a Voodoo Graphics card in Windows 95 or 98,
you must use the "rkvg.exe" executable found on the CD-ROM
under "\3dfx\voodoo_95_98". If you are using a Voodoo2 card,
you must use the "\3dfx\voodoo2_95_98\rkv2dx6.exe" executable.
For Windows NT, the drivers can be found in the "\3dfx\voodoo_NT"
and "\3dfx\voodoo2_NT" directory.
The file is in the "3Dfx" directory on the "Laura's Happy Adventures" CD.
Following selection of this executable file,
press "OK" and the decompression menu will appear.
2- Choose a directory in which you can temporarily install the
installation files.
The default directory is C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. Click "Unzip".
3- Make use of the "readme.txt" file which opens automatically,
it complements this file and can prove helpful in installing
the drivers.
** DETERMINING YOUR VERSION OF WINDOWS **
4- Installation varies according to your version of Windows95.
Users of Windows98 do not need to know the version of their
operating system. To identify your version of Windows95, open:
Start / Settings / Control panel / System

of Windows9X.
