3DLABS GLINT WINDOWS 95 DRIVER ============================== Display Driver Beta Ver 0.

95 This Readme describes how to install the above driver release. It also lists the bug fixes and enhancements in this release. 1) Installation 2) New Display Driver Features 3) Display Driver Bugs Fixed 1) Installation =============== *** IMPORTANT *** If you are installing a Windows 95 GLINT driver for the first time, you must carefully follow the instructions below. Specifically you should physically remove any GLINT card from your machine before installing Windows 95. You should also ensure that you do not plug in your GLINT card until after you have installed the Windows 95 GLINT drivers. This is due to a bug in the Windows95 configuration manager. 3Dlabs are working with Microsoft to resolve this. 2.1 If you have not yet installed Windows 95, then before doing so power down your machine and physically remove the GLINT card. Then install Windows 95 using your VGA boot card. If you installed Windows 95 with a GLINT card physically present in your system or you plugged in your GLINT card before you installed the drivers, you may need to remove some incorrect registry entries that the configuration manager may have created: Right click on the "My Computer" ICON, and select "Properties". Access the Device Manager. Expand "Other Devices" (if present). Select "PCI Display Adaptor" (if present). Click the "Remove" button. Follow the instructions and allow the machine to reboot. Install the new drivers as follows: Open the control panel, and start the "Add New Hardware" wizard. When prompted check the box to tell Windows 95 NOT to search for the new hardware and click "Next". Select the "Display adaptor" class, and "Next". Click "Have Disk" and follow the instructions to start installing from the GLINT driver floppy. Upon completion the machine will offer to shutdown to enable you to install the new hardware. Accept the shutdown request, and when you have powered down, physically install the Montserrat board. On reboot Windows 95 will recognise the board, select the correct display driver, and will then offer to reboot. Do NOT allow it to do so, but instead: Select "Continue". Right click on the "My Computer" ICON, and select "Properties". Access the Device Manager. Expand "Display adapters". Select your existing VGA compatible display adapter.

Uncheck the "Orignal Configuration (Current)" box. Allow the machine to reboot when prompted. 2.6 Check the Device Manager to ensure the GLINT drivers are being used. The icon for the VGA card should contain a monitor which is crossed out where the GLINT driver s icon should be just a monitor. If the GLINT icon is crossed out, then there were additional problems with the installation. This can happen if you plugged in the GLINT board before you installed the drivers. Check the properties for the GLINT board. If there is a resource conflict with the VGA driver, you may need to remove the VGA driver from the Device Manager and reboot. You should now have a working GLINT driver running at 640x480 256 colors. Use the Display Control Panel to change to other resolutions.
