- 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
- references 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 be asked
- for the first diskette of the new Hercules software. Windows
- 95 will install the new driver. When asked to restart the
- computer, select "No". You will now be ready to install this
- new software for the Windows 95 desktop.
-
-
- 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 In This Release
- ==========================
-
- Release 1.23 of this software contains the following improvements
- over previous release:
-
- - Duplicated cursor issue has been fixed in this release.
-
- - Higher refresh rate has been supported in this release.
-
-
- Known Limitations
- =================
-
- - Video playback is not available when using the viewport (virtual
- desktop).
-
- - 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.
-
- Hercules is on an aggressive schedule to provide solutions to known
- limitations whenever possible. If you encounter a problem, please
- contact us to ensure that you are using the latest software.
