Terminator 3D & 3D/DX Windows 95 Drivers and Tools Installation Guide Version 1.24 June 4th, 1997 CONTENTS Introduction If You're Updating From An Earlier Release Running The SETUP Program How Do I Get Help? Introduction ============ This guide contains the information you need to install our Windows 95 drivers and tools for your Hercules product. If You're Updating From An Earlier Release ========================================== If you already have an earlier version of our Power Drive Windows 95 driver installed, you should run the UnInstall program located in the Hercules PowerTools program group before continuing. Doing this removes the previous release of software from your hard drive, as well as all old refernces to the drivers and utilities in your configuration files. The UnInstall program will also change your display driver back to the standard VGA driver. After running the UnInstall program, restart your computer. You will now be ready to install this new software. Running the SETUP Program ========================= If you received this software release on diskettes, you'll find the SETUP.EXE program on Disk 1 of our Windows 95 Driver and Utilities diskettes -- the very same diskette that contains this README.TXT file. If you've downloaded our software from one of our online services, you'll find the SETUP.EXE in the archive -- it will be in the same directory as is this README.TXT file. To install the driver and utilities, just run our SETUP.EXE program. If you run it from the task bar, make sure you type the entire path to the directory that contains SETUP.EXE. Otherwise, you might accidentally launch somebody else's setup program. SETUP.EXE can install the Power Drive driver, our new Touch 95 and Hercules Entertainment Center utilities, or both. To automatically install everything, choose the "Typical" option when using Setup's "wizard" installation interface. There's nothing more to do! What's New With This Release ============================ 1. Fixed the residual software cursor problem on OSR2 system. 2. Borland Delphi : components palette has been fixed. 3. WINCIN 2.01 Netscape Editor : The CLICK ME Icon issue has been addressed. 4. STAR OFFICE 3.1 & 4.0 : STAR WRITER and STAR DRAW are functional from short cut bar. Known Limitations ================= 1. 1600x1200x16bpp is not available. 2. Video playback is not available when using the viewport (virtual desktop). 3. When using a viewport, your viewport's maximum refresh rate is limited to the maximum refresh rate of the desktop area if you use the Auto refresh rate option. For example, if you're using a desktop area of 1280x1024x256 and a viewport area of 800x600, the maximum refresh rate is determined by the maximum refresh rate supported by your card at 1280x1024x256. However, you can circumvent this issue by manually selecting a viewport refresh rate.
