Introduction
============
This guide contains the information you need to install our Windows 95
drivers and tools for your Hercules product.
If You're Updating From An Earlier Release
==========================================
If you already have an earlier version of our Power Drive<tm> Windows
95 driver installed, you should run the UnInstall program located in
the Hercules PowerTools program group before continuing. Doing this
removes the previous release of software from your hard drive, as well
as all old refernces to the drivers and utilities in your
configuration files. The UnInstall program will also change your
display driver back to the standard VGA driver. After running the
UnInstall program, restart your computer. You will now be ready to
install this new software.
Running the SETUP Program
=========================
If you received this software release on diskettes, you'll find the
SETUP.EXE program on Disk 1 of our Windows 95 Driver and Utilities
diskettes -- the very same diskette that contains this README.TXT
file. If you've downloaded our software from one of our online
services, you'll find the SETUP.EXE in the archive -- it will be in
the same directory as is this README.TXT file.
To install the driver and utilities, just run our SETUP.EXE program. If
you run it from the task bar, make sure you type the entire path to
the directory that contains SETUP.EXE. Otherwise, you might
accidentally launch somebody else's setup program.
SETUP.EXE can install the Power Drive driver, our new Touch 95<tm> and
Hercules Entertainment Center<tm> utilities, or both. To
automatically install everything, choose the "Typical" option when
using Setup's "wizard" installation interface. There's nothing more
to do!
What's New With This Release
============================
1. Terminator 3D/DX has been supported.
2. Duplicated cursor on OSR2 bug has been fixed.
3. Hardware MPEG play back problem has been resolved.
Known Limitations
=================
1. 1600x1200x16bpp is not available.
2. Video playback is not available when using the viewport (virtual
desktop).
3. When using a viewport, your viewport's maximum refresh rate is
limited to the maximum refresh rate of the desktop area if you use
the Auto refresh rate option. For example, if you're using a
desktop area of 1280x1024x256 and a viewport area of 800x600, the
maximum refresh rate is determined by the maximum refresh rate
supported by your card at 1280x1024x256. However, you can
circumvent this issue by manually selecting a viewport refresh rate.
