Note
----
* All of MT*.DRV drivers ONLY support Trident TVGA 8900CL, 8900/9200CX or
higher. You MUST have 386/486 machine to run the drivers.
Installation
------------
1. First install MS Windows 3.x using the standard IBM VGA driver.
2. Make sure Windows 3.x is working properly.
3. Change to Windows 3.x directory (e.g. c:\windows), run SETUP.EXE.
4. Insert enclosed disk, change display driver to "Other...".
5. Enter the path of TRIDENT driver (e.g. A:\ ).
6. Select a suitable TRIDENT driver.
7. Follow instructions to finish SETUP.
Hints for Windows 3.1 Users
===========================
1. Make sure you select the Trident driver from directory \WIN of Trident
Driver & Utilities Disk 2.
2. Please be sure to use the Windows 3.1 diskettes if SETUP asks for
Windows disk.
3. If you have previously installed any Trident Windows 3.x drivers,
please delete OEM?.INF (e.g. OEM0.INF) in Windows SYSTEM directory.
4. All driver files are compressed by using Microsoft COMPRESS. If you
copy/install the driver to/from network server, you MUST expand all
driver files by using Microsoft EXPAND. See Windows 3.1 manual for detail.
Important Note for Windows 3.0
==============================
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
HI*.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.
