If you are not sure if you are using the VGA driver, please see page 336 of the OS/2 manual, and follow the "Preparing to Switch to a Different Display Adapter" instructions. Open the OS/2 SYSTEM folder, then COMMAND PROMPTS, and open either an OS/2 Windowed or Full-Screen command prompt. 3. Insert the Stealth 32 OS/2 Installation diskette in your drive A or B. Again, this disk must be labeled OS-2. --------------------------------------------------------- |IF YOU HAVE A GATEWAY COMPUTER: | Type: | A: [enter] | GATEWAY A: C: [enter] | | Where A: is the drive with the Stealth 32 Installation diskette, | and C: is the drive where OS/2 is installed. | | Now remove the Stealth 32 Installation diskette from drive A:, | Shut Down your system, reboot your computer, follow | steps 2 and 3 again and continue with step 4 below. --------------------------------------------------------- 4. Change to the drive that your Stealth 32 install disk is in. Then run the INSTALL utility, specifying the install disk's drive, and your OS/2 disk drive. for example: A: [enter] INSTALL A: C: [enter] Where A: is the drive with the Stealth 32 Installation diskette, and C: is the drive with OS/2 installed. 5. If the 'Help Not Available' message appears just click OK. 6. The first screen will allow you to select Primary Display, or Secondary Display. Click on Primary Display, then click OK. 7. The next screen allows you select the driver to install. Stealth 32 should already be highlighted, but click on it anyway. Then click on OK. 8. The next screen will give you the option to install using defaults for monitor, or a display adapter utility program. Select Install Using Display Adapter Utility Program. 9. The next screen will be the Utility Location Window. Click on the Locate button. A standard OS/2 file open window will appear. The file you are looking for is the SETMODE.EXE utility. This is normally found in the C:\S32\UTIL\ directory. Once you have located the file, click on OK. This will return you to the Utility Location Window. The full path to the SETMODE.EXE utility will be displayed. Click at the end of the line, then type a space, followed by the word MONITOR. It should look similar to the following: C:\S32\UTIL\SETMODE.EXE MONITOR Now Click on OK. 10. The screen should flash several times as it cycles through some mode changes. A screen should then appear with a list of resolutions. Pick one of the resolutions supported by your Stealth 32, then click OK. 11. There should now be a window prompting you for the drive where the Stealth 32 drivers are located. Make sure the Stealth 32 OS/2 driver disk is in the drive, then select that drive, and click OK. the necessary files will be copied over, and the necessary configuration files modified. 12. Once the files have been copied over, exit from the OS/2 command prompt, then shutdown OS/2 and reboot the system. OS/2 should now come up in the resolution that you selected in step 10 above. You may also reference installation instructions in the OS/2 Version 2.1 Installation guide. WIN-OS2 FULL SCREEN REFRESH RATES To set up WIN-OS2 Full screen refresh rates do the following: 1. Open the OS/2 System Editor. This is usually found in the OS/2 System Productivity folder, which can be found in the OS/2 System folder. 2. Edit the Autoexec.bat file found in the root directory of your OS/2 drive and add this line to the end of the autoexec.bat file. C:\S32\UTIL\SETMODE.EXE MONITOR Where c is the drive that OS/2 is installed. 3. Shutdown and reboot. NOTES: During the installation, if the install routine cannot find the driver disk, the volume label may not be correct. The correct volume label is: OS-2. To label your diskette, open any command prompt and type: label a: [enter] OS-2 [enter] Where a is the drive containing the diskette to be labeled. LIMITATIONS: These drivers will NOT work if you have installed the CSD (Corrective Service Diskettes). This is a limitation of the Tseng ET4000w32p driver code. The generic Tseng Et4000w32p drivers have this same limitation. Tseng is working on this issue.
