Righteous 3D
Driver Update - v2.00.18
4 June 1997
This ZIP file contains the latest Windows95 drivers for the Orchid Righteous 3D. They
are based on the 2.08 drivers from 3Dfx and the Glide 2.3 runtime library, and include
an updated Control Panel accessory.
The new driver implements an updated Control Panel accessory that features refresh
rates for various resolutions, including 800x600. There is on-line help documentation
for easy reference. There are gamma control options for adjusting colors. A new
Orchid 3D test is also provided (please note that your frames per second will be lower
than the previous test because of the increase in graphic size).
INSTALLATION
You may install these drivers over a previous version of the drivers, or on a new (clean)
Windows95 system installation. See the appropriate section for detailed instructions.
Topics covered:
Initial installation on a new Windows95 System (Retail)
Initial installation on a new Windows95 System (OSR2)
Updating current drivers (Retail)
Updating current drivers (OSR2)
You can determine which version of Windows95 you have by opening the Control Panel
and double clicking on the "System" icon. On the "General" tab, your version of
Windows95 will be listed:
4.00.95 Retail version
4.00.95 A Retail version
4.00.95 B OSR2 version
Initial installation on a new Windows95 System (Retail)
If you do not currently have the Righteous 3D installed in your system, you should
power off the computer and install the hardware as documented in the manual. Once
the card is secured, power on your system and boot into Windows95. Windows should
detect new hardware.
1. At the new hardware screen, choose "Disk provided by hardware manufacturer", and
click on OK.
2. When asked for the location of the driver files, type in the directory you extracted
these files to - ex. C:\TEMP.
3. Windows will copy the files over. If you are asked to reboot, go ahead and do
so. Once Windows95 starts up again, the Righteous will be installed.
Initial installation on a new Windows95 System (OSR2)
If you do not currently have the Righteous 3D installed in your system, you should
power off the computer and install the hardware as documented in the manual. Once
the card is secured, power on your system and boot into Windows95. Windows should
detect new hardware.
1. At the new hardware screen, Windows will prompt that it is going to search for a
driver. Say "Yes" to this.
2. Windows should not find a driver, and give you new options. Choose "Other
Location", and then type in the directory you extracted these files to - ex.
C:\TEMP
3. It will identify the driver as the Righteous 3D. Click "OK" or "Next" to this. You
will then be prompted again for the name of the directory you extracted the files
to.
4. Windows will copy the files over. If you are prompted to reboot, go ahead and do
so. Once Windows95 starts up again, the Righteous will be installed.
Updating the current driver (Retail)
If your Righteous3D is already installed and drivers are loaded for it, you can install the
new drivers right over it.

Manager" tab. Scroll down to "Sound, video, and game controllers" and double click
on it.
2. The Righteous3D should be displayed as a subheading; double click on it. (If you
installed compatible drivers, those will be displayed instead.) Click on the "Driver"
tab.
3. Press the "Change Driver" button.
4. On the hardware list window, press the "Have Disk" button.
5. Type in the name of the directory you extracted the files to - ex. C:\TEMP and press
"OK".

are asked to reboot. Once you restart, the Righteous will be installed.
