-
- The file you have downloaded, FPVIDW95.EXE contains Windows 95
- drivers for the Fahrenheit ProVideo 64 board. This is a

- disk set version 1.0, but is a supplement to it. This readme
- file contains instructions for installing the drivers. You have
- already completed the first step, by unpacking the FPVIDW95.EXE
- file and reading this.
-
- When you unpack FPVIDW95.EXE you should have the following files:

- FPV64 VXD 12,750 01-03-96 2:38p

- Installing the Drivers
- -----------------------------
-
- These instructions assume that you already have the Fahrenheit
- ProVideo 64 board installed in your system, and that you already
- have the Windows 95 operating system installed on your hard disk.
- You should use the Windows 95 "Add New Hardware" procedure to
- install these new drivers. The Windows95 "Add New Hardware"
- procedure is menu driven, and fairly self explanatory. Here are
- the step-by-step instructions for the procedure.
-
-
- 1. Before beginning new driver installation, we recommend that
- you shut down any other programs you may be running.
-
- 2. From the Windows 95 desktop, select the icon, "My Computer",
- then double click on the "Control Panel" icon.
-
- 3. From the Control Panel Window, double click on the "Add New
- Hardware" icon. When the introductory "Add New Hardware
- Wizard" screen comes up, click on the "Next" button.
-
- 4. The Wizard will ask you, "Do you want Windows to search for
- your new hardware?" Select "NO", and click on the "Next"
- button.
-
- 5. A menu tree is displayed titled, "Hardware types". Double
- click on the "Display adapters" selection.
-
- 6. Lists of display "Manufacturers", and "Models" will show on
- screen. Instead of selecting from the existing lists, click
- on the "Have Disk" button (below the "Models" column).
-
- 7. The Wizard will ask you for a drive letter and path
- specification for the new drivers. Fill in the appropriate
- information for your system (the drive and directory name
- where you unpacked the new drivers).
-
- 8. When the "Models" list comes up, select "Orchid Technology
- Fahrenheit ProVideo 64", then press the "Next" button.
-
- 9. You may see some messages flash quickly on the screen as the
- new files are copied, then click on the "Finish" button. At
- this point, you can shutdown and restart so the changes will
- take affect.
-
- The procedure for setting the driver resolution, board refresh
- rates, monitor type and color depth hasn't changed, you should
- use the standard Windows 95 methods. From Control Panel, double
- click on the "Display" icon, then select the "Settings" tab.
