Release Notes
-------------
This is v1.02 of the Stealth 32 Install/Utilities/Drivers disk set.
Windows Installation Notes
--------------------------
Use the INSTALL file to install the Windows 3.1 drivers from DOS
or from the Windows Program Manager.
* Suggestion: Use MS VGA when installing from Program Manager
to eliminate any OEM files that could create a conflict.
* If the install says "file in use, abort/continue" and the
file in question is a font (*.FON) file, continue the install.
* If strange errors occur and text is missing from dialogs,
check for .VBX files in your \WINDOWS directory. .VBX files
should only reside in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM sub-directory.
Once the driver launches Windows, you will be placed in 640x480
256-color mode and prompted to select your monitor type. Select
the brand monitor you have, compatible type, or use the Custom
Monitor Timings to create your own configuration and custom
screen centering.
* If you are upgrading from a previous version of the Diamond
drivers, you MUST install from the DOS prompt. If you
install from Windows there is a chance that some of the
InControl Tools data files will not be properly updated.
* Icon fonts are controlled by InControl Tools. When changing
modes back to VGA or a non-Diamond driver, these settings
still remain. To change back to default icon font, search
the WIN.INI file for the IconTypeFace, IconTypeStyle, and
IconTypeSize lines. Place a semicolon (;) in front of these
lines or remove the lines entirely.
* Only resolutions that have been selected as supported in the
Display module will be available in the Viewport choices. If
your monitor can display a resolution provided by the card,
go to Display and select a monitor that offers that mode and
refresh, or select Custom Monitor Timings and Add the mode.
* If Windows only displays a single alphabetic character for the
icon font, select a different font from the list of InControl
Tools. Windows may not support the font type/size requested
in the resolution and resource size displayed.
* If you had screen savers loaded previously, and they seem not
to load on startup any longer, see the message at the top
regarding backing up important files and the limitation down
below of LOAD= line being replaced and not appended. This is
a limitation of the Windows 3.xx SETUP program. This does not
occur with the Diamond install.

Known Limitations
-----------------
If you are updating the Stealth 32 Windows driver use Windows
Setup.exe instead of Install.
Adobe Illustrator has a problem with the 16-bit driver. When running
Adobe Illustrator please select a non-64k color driver. If you do
it may reboot your system.
The 64K-color driver has a known bug inserting objects. After
inserting the object on Excel or Winword if you double click to edit
this object it will change color. Don't save this object with wrong
colors.
We and Adobe are current working on this problems and we will post
an update for this drivers as soon as possible.
