- DISPLAY PROBLEMS: WINDOWS 3.1x
-
- The following problems are known to occur in Windows when using a
- some display drivers with 256 colors (or greater):
-
- All of the expected icons may not be created in the target
- Program Manager group.
-
- In the case above, the problem is with the Windows display
- driver which being used. Changing the Windows display driver
- to VGA will probably eliminate the problem.
-
- The Windows display driver may be changed using Windows Setup
- which is in the Main group (by default). It is a good idea to
- note the driver currently being used so that you can return to
- it when you have finished with the Icon Wizard.
-
- After starting Windows Setup, select VGA display driver
- (and if prompted, you may select the "current" driver).

- "SMALL FOOTPRINT" CD-ROM OPERATION
-
- We are pleased to introduce a new feature for Micro Star CD-ROM Club
- members -- the "small footprint" CD. What this means to you is saving
- space on your hard drive. All of the DOS and Windows applications
- which are included on the CD-ROM will run directly from the CD without
- being installed to your computer's hard drive.
-
- Instead of installing all of the program files, we have licensed a special
- utility program which saves only the essential information to your hard
- drive. Here is how it works:
-
- In Windows: a file called "winstart.bat" should have been copied to your
- Windows directory. When you start Windows, you will see this message:
- "Redirecting all DOS write operations from CD-ROM drive
- x: to drive d:\CD.SAV\... "
-
- This will happen each time you start Windows. If you want to disable
- this feature, simply delete (or edit) the "winstart.bat" file in your
- Windows directory.
-
- If you do not see the message about redirecting DOS writes, you may
- already have a "winstart.bat" file. To add the utility so that the Windows
- programs may be run directly from the CD-ROM disc, simply EDIT your
- existing "winstart.bat" file to add the following line:
- updat_cd c:\cd.sav
-
- Save the edited file and when you re-start Windows, the utility will be
- loaded as Windows starts each time. You will then be able to run Windows
- programs directly from the CD.
-
- DOS programs:
-
- In DOS, change to your CD-ROM drive and simply enter MENU. The utility
- will be started in memory (using only 3Kbytes) and the menu will start.
-
- NOTE: In some cases, DOS programs may not run from the menu. This
- can happen because the menu is memory resident and, in some cases, may
- use enough program memory so that there isn't enough left for programs.
- If this happens, enter MENU to start the utility program and start the menu.
- EXIT the menu and change to the directory containing the program that you
- want to run. Start the program; you will still be able to run the program
- directly from the CD with the DOS writes redirected to the hard drive.
