Installing Supplemental Drivers on a Network -------------------------------------------- This file is intended for system administrators or anyone else who will install the drivers in this package onto a network for use with a shared copy of Windows. 1. Create a new directory on the network drive for the supplemental drivers you are going to install. It might be most convenient to make this directory a subdirectory of the Windows directory. This new directory should not be the Windows system directory, where the original Windows device drivers were installed. 2. Copy all of the files in the Supplemental Driver Library disks to the directory you created in step 1. 3. Copy all of the files in the new directory to the Windows directory. There will then be two copies of these files on your network drive. Both sets of drivers are necessary in order to ensure that these drivers will work properly on the users' systems. 4. Delete the file OEMSETUP.INF from the Windows directory. This ensures that this version of OEMSETUP.INF won't be overwritten by another file with the same name. You should not delete the copy of OEMSETUP.INF that is in the directory you created in step 1. Once these steps are completed, users of the shared copy of Windows will automatically have access to these drivers. The only exception is display drivers. To use one of the display drivers included in this package, the user will need to run Setup from MS-DOS using the following procedure. (This procedure is not necessary for users who will not be using one of these display drivers.) 1. Exit Windows. 2. Type the following at the DOS prompt and then press ENTER: setup /n 3. Press the UP ARROW key to select the Display setting and then press ENTER. 4. Scroll to the bottom of the list using the DOWN ARROW key. 5. Select Other and press ENTER. 6. Type the pathname of the display driver and press ENTER. The driver will be located on the subdirectory created in step 1 of the previous set of instructions. Setup then updates your WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI files to correspond to the new driver and then displays an updated list of your hardware. 7. Press ENTER to complete the process. 8. Start Windows. The preceding procedure might not work if the user has a local copy of Setup. In this case, the user will have to manually change the settings in the SYSTEM.INI file and possibly take additional actions. If you cannot use Setup /n to gain access to a Supplemental Library display driver from the network, follow the instructions that follow. Manually Installing an SDL Display driver from a Network to a Local Workstation -------------------------------------------------------- You do not need to read the information in the following section unless you were unable to use Setup to configure a user's system to use a Supplemental Library display driver that is on a network share. Printing this file: You should print this file in landscape mode (11 inches wide, 8.5 inches high) so that the table in this document will not run off the page. To manually configure a workstation to gain access to an SDL display driver on a network, follow these steps: 1. Open your SYSTEM.INI file using a text editor, such as Notepad. This file should be located in your Windows directory. 2. Locate the following four settings in SYSTEM.INI. In the [boot] section, locate the display.drv= and 386grabber= settings. In the [boot.description] section, locate the display.drv= setting. In the [386Enh] section, locate the display= setting. 3. Look up the display driver you want to use in the following list and change the corresponding SYSTEM.INI values (the values are what appears to the right of the equal sign) to those shown on the list. Name of display [boot] [boot] [386Enh] (enter in [boot.description] display.drv=) display.drv= 386grabber= display= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATI Mode 54h (800x600 16 colors) v2.00 win3-54b.drv vga.gr3 vddati.386 ATI Mode 55h (1024x768 16 colors v2.00 win3-55b.drv vga.gr3 vddati.386 CHIPS Super VGA 82C451 (800x600 16 colors) 45131600.drv vga.gr3 vddchip.386 CHIPS Super VGA 82C452 (800x600 16 colors) 45231600.drv vga.gr3 vddchip.386 CHIPS Super VGA 82C451 (1024x768 16 colors) win31768.drv vga.gr3 vddchip.386 CHIPS Super VGA 82C452 (640x480 256 colors) win3p480.drv vgap45x.gr3 vddchip.386 COMPAQ Integrated Video Graphics System cpqivgs.drv vga.gr3 *vddvga DGIS Medium Resolution w/VGA, Ver 1.01 dgis3lo.drv dgisvga.gr3 *vddvga DGIS High Resolution w/VGA, Ver 1.01 dgis3hi.drv dgisvga.gr3 *vddvga Paradise VGA (800x600 16 colors) vga800.drv vga.gr3 vddpara.386 Paradise VGA (1024x768 16 colors) vga1024.drv vga.gr3 vddpara.386 Paradise VGA (640x480 256 colors) pvga480.drv pvga.gr3 vddpara.386 Video Seven VGA (800x600 16 color) v760016.drv v7vga.gr3 *vddvga Video Seven VGA (1024x768 16 color) v776816.drv v7vga.gr3 *vddvga Video Seven VGA (640x480 256 color) v7480256.drv v7vga.gr3 *vddvga ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Make sure you have correctly typed the appropriate values into your SYSTEM.INI file. 4. Save the new settings and close the SYSTEM.INI file. 5. Exit Windows, if you have not already done so. *************************************************************************** * IMPORTANT: If you are converting to one of the Supplemental Library * * display drivers from a non-VGA driver, you will need to follow * * steps 6 and 7. * * * * If your previous display was a VGA, you can skip to step 8. * * ********************************************************************* * * * * 6.
