ET4000/W32 Windows 3.1 Video Driver Installation Instructions
** IMPORTANT **
The drivers named "ET4-W32" in the Windows Setup use the ET4000/W32 accelerator
features. The remaining drivers supplied are the same as used on the ET4000/AX.
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 ET4000-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:\
Follow 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 \et4drv
and switch to that subdirectory (C:>cd \et4drv)
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
ET4000-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:>\et4drv
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)
Also, the included are Tseng HiColor/TrueColor drivers for 32K, 65K and 16M
simultaneous colors. If you attempt to run Microsoft Windows with a driver for
which your display board cannot support, a brief message will appear in the
upper left of your screen
"video driver unable to set desired mode"
before returning you back to the DOS prompt. If this occurs simply, run the
SETUP program again and choose a supported display mode.
