- IMPORTANT NOTE
- ==============
-
- If you have installed previous version of the Windows 3.0 Trident drivers,
- you will have to delete the old Trident driver files BEFORE you use
- SETUP to install the new drivers, otherwise SETUP will NOT copy the new
- driver files to your Windows 3.0 directory.
- The files which you should delete are in Windows 3.0 SYSTEM sub-directory
- (e.g. c:\windows\system\ ), they might be:
- W800.DRV, W1024.DRV, W1024F.DRV,
- T640.DRV, T800.DRV, T1024.DRV, T1024F.DRV
- VDDTVGA.386
- TVGA.GR3

- NOTE for network installation
- =============================
-
- If you try to install Windows through a network, i.e. SETUP/N,
- it will not copy any file from the Trident Driver disk to the network
- Windows directory and local Windows directory. The reason why it
- happen is: the files in Trident Driver Disk are compressed by
- MicroSoft COMPRESS, just like the files in Windows disks #1 to #5.
- The normal SETUP can automatically expand the compressed driver
- files, while the SETUP/N do not expand the compressed files.
-
- Here is the solution:
- 1. Expand the five Windows 3.0 disks to your network Windows
- directory, as per Windows manual, "Putting Windows on a Network",
- pp. 553-554.
-
- 2. Please use the same method to expand Trident Window driver
- disk to the same network Windows directory.
- Note: Please note that the Trident Driver files are compressed
- using the MS COMPRESS. So users should use EXPAND to
- decompress them before running SETUP/N.
-
- 3. After this, SETUP/N to install windows as described in Windows manual,
- "Getting Windows from a Network", p.545. Select "Other" as Trident
- Video Driver.
