ET3000 Windows 3.1 Video Driver Installation Instructions
This driver disk is designed to allow you to select or change the
video driver for Windows 3.1 using Windows Setup. Setup can be
executed from within Windows, or from DOS. Note that these driver
files are in Microsoft compressed format and can only be accessed and
executed by installing through Windows Setup. 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. Or, with Windows running, select Setup from
the Program Manager Main group. 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 ET3000-based 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 \et3drv
and switch to that subdirectory (C:>cd \et3drv)
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. Or, with Windows running, select Setup from
the Program Manager Main group. 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 ET3000-based 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:>\et3drv
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.
8) If you are having problems installing these drivers please contact your
board vendor for further assistance.(as your vendor may have done proprietary
enhancements that require custom drivers)
