Installing Hercules Graphite Windows 3.1 drivers the first time --------------------------------------------------------------- If you are installing Hercules Graphite Windows 3.1 drivers the first time, you should NOT use Windows' SETUP program. You MUST use Graphite's Install program. After the installation, you must then run Windows' SETUP program to inform Windows about the Graphite drivers: 1) Go to your Windows directory, and type SETUP. 2) Pick "Display:", then press the Enter key. 3) Pick "Hercules Graphite ... (All Resolutions)" from list, then press the Enter key. 4) Press the Enter key to "Accept the configuration shown above". 5) If Windows presents a screen of currently installed drivers, press the Enter key to "Keep Driver". *** important *** Each time that you run Windows' Setup and select the Graphite driver, Windows will boot up in 640 x 480, 256 color mode. Use the Picture Window utility to select a higher resolution or a different color depth. Installing the Windows Drivers with Windows on a Network -------------------------------------------------------- When you are prompted for the Windows directory name during the installation process, make sure you enter the name of the local Windows directory (the one on your own hard disk), as opposed to the network Windows directory. You should also always run Windows' SETUP in your local Windows directory. Updating the Windows drivers from a previous version ---------------------------------------------------- Case 1) If you have a complete Graphite Windows 3.1 drivers diskette. Method 1: You can use the Graphite install program to re-install the drivers. The install program is located in your Graphite operating software directory (e.g. C:\HERCULES) and can be invoked by typing HERCULES if that directory is in your PATH. Method 2: You can use UPWIN.BAT included in your Graphite Windows diskette. Log to the drive containing the disk and type: UPWIN [source drive:] [Windows directory] (e.g. UPWIN A: C:\WINDOWS) Case 2) If you have only the Windows driver files (names begin with "agx" and extensions are ".drv") and the file called vddagx.386, you can replace the old ones by copying these into the Windows' system sub-directory. No matter which case you choose to update the files, you must re-run the Windows' SETUP program after updating the drivers. ** End of File **
