Installation Notes
------------------
CD Installation
---------------
The Windows 95 drivers contained on this CD-ROM can be installed directly
from the CD-ROM. First you must have Windows 95 installed with the Standard
VGA driver (640x480x16) before you install the Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 Pro
Series Windows 95 drivers. If you are running a different graphics mode
please re-configure for Standard VGA.
After rebooting in VGA mode run the START program from the CD's root
directory: X:\start.exe (Where X is the drive letter of your CD-ROM drive).
Follow the instructions to install the Windows 95 drivers and at the end you
will be prompted to reboot your system.
