Diamond Stealth VRAM Windows 3.1 Video Driver Installation Instructions
*************************************************************************
* Before you rush into the installation process, there are several *
* things you need to know. Please read these instructions to get a *
* good idea on how to proceed. Also, please read the note at the *
* bottom of this "readme" file. *
*************************************************************************
This driver disk will allow you to select or change the Stealth video
driver for Windows 3.1 using Windows Setup from the DOS prompt. These
driver files are in Microsoft compressed format and can only be accessed
and executed by using Windows SETUP.EXE. Simply copying the files into your
\Windows\System subdirectory WILL NOT work and may corrupt your Windows
installation. Installing the drivers correctly is, however, a simple
process. It is accomplished by following these instructions:
Installation from floppy disk
1) Insert your Driver Disk in the appropriate floppy drive.
2) From your Windows directory, type SETUP and select DISPLAY to change the
video driver. Refer to your Microsoft Windows User's Guide for
assistance in running Setup from inside Windows.
3) Select "Other disk..." to direct the program to the floppy disk holding
the new drivers. Note that after the drivers are installed, you will not
have to select "Other disk..." again should you decide to change
resolutions. Look for the Stealth VRAM drivers in the Display selection
menu to select the display resolution you want.
4) When asked where the drivers will be found, state the following:
A:\
Following instructions 6-7 below.
Installation from Hard Disk
1) Having the drivers loaded on the hard disk will make it easier and
faster to change resolutions in the future. Make a subdirectory to hold
the driver files.
example: C:>md \stlthw31
Then change to that subdirectory
example: C:>cd \stlthw31
2) Insert the drivers disk into the appropriate drive and type the
following command:
COPY A:\*.*
3) From your Windows directory, type SETUP and select DISPLAY to change the
video driver. Refer to your Microsoft Windows User's Guide for
assistance in running Setup from inside Windows.
4) Select "Other disk..." to direct the program to the subdirectory holding
the new drivers. Note that once the drivers are installed, you should
not have to select "Other" again should you decide to change
resolutions. Look for the Stealth VRAM drivers in the Display selection
menu to select the display resolution you want.
5) When asked where the drivers will be found, state the following
(deleting what the program has displayed in the input window):
[drive:]\[directory]
e.g.: C:\stlthw31
6) A standard Windows selection menu will appear with additional video
drivers from which to select.
7) Proceed normally through the remainder of the process. Check Microsoft
Windows installation procedures if necessary.
