OEM Display Driver Disk for
Windows 3.0 High Resolution Driver Installation
June 19, 1990
========================================================
This document contains instructions on how to install high resolution
graphics drivers for Windows 3.0. There are two drivers provided on the
disk:
1) Mode 54 800X600 /16 colors
This driver is supported on all versions of the ATI VGAWONDER,
VGAWONDER+ and VGA EDGE. An analog multisync or 8514 type monitor is
required.
2) Mode 55 1024X768 /16 colors
This driver is supported on V4 and V5 versions of the ATI VGAWONDER and
all versions of the VGAWONDER+. An analog multisync or 8514 type monitor
and 512K video memory is required.
NOTE! V3 versions of the VGAWONDER cannot support the planar memory
architecture used by the Mode 55 driver. The version may be determined
by checking the BIOS message which is displayed on the screen during
boot or by using the V-INFO utility provided on VGAWONDER disk #1.
The installation procedure takes advantage of an option provided by
Windows of adding a third party graphics driver during installation. This
procedure requires an "OEM display driver disk". To create such a disk,
format a floppy disk and copy the following files on to the root directory
of the formatted disk:
o WIN3-54B.DRV - Windows 3.0 800x600 16 colors driver
o WIN3-55B.DRV - Windows 3.0 1024x768 16 colors driver
(for V4 board and up)
o VDDVGA.386 - Virtual display driver for Windows 3.0
(required when installed on a 386 system)
o OEMSETUP.INF - Windows 3.0 setup file
o README - This file
If you are installing Windows 3.0 for the first time, run SETUP.EXE from
your Windows 3.0 disk #1. If Windows 3.0 is already installed on your hard
drive, run SETUP.EXE from the Windows directory. NOTE! Setup option in the
MAIN screen within Windows cannot be used to install these high resolution
drivers. You must exit Windows and run SETUP.EXE.
SETUP will display the system information on the screen. Move to
highlighted bar to Display and press Enter. A list of options appears.
Select OTHER. Then you will be asked to insert 'the display driver disk
provided by the hardware manufacturer'. Insert this diskette and select the
desired resolution.
When installing Windows 3.0 on a 386 machine, there is an additional step
required. When the screen shows:
Setup is copying file...
Copying Himem Driver
and the blue horizontal bar reads 94%, SETUP may prompt you for a diskette
with this message:
Setup needs the following disk
However, there is no description to identify which diskette should be
inserted. In this situation, insert this OEM Display Driver Disk in a
drive and type the drive path onto the screen.
for example: A:\
Complete installation of Windows as described in your Windows manual.
