	    General Guide for Configuring the Display 
		      options for Windows 95


Changing resolutions
====================
Changing of resolutions is dramatically different for Windows 95 
than it is for Windows 3.1x.  Currently, to change resolutions 
for the Orchid Technology video cards, users can select the Orchid 
Icon in the Control Panel and select the desired resolution and 
color palette.  Changing resolutions in Windows 95 is quite 
different.  First of all,  if an Orchid Icon is visible in the 
Windows 95 Control Panel, please refer to the "Other Issues" 
section and read how to remove the Orchid Icon from the Control 
Panel.  If the Orchid Icon is used for any reason, Windows 95 may 
become unstable.

To change resolutions and color palette in Windows 95, you can 
do the following:

1)	Launch the Control Panel which is located under "My 
	Computer" if using the Explorer interface.  

2)	Double-click on the "Display" Icon and select "Settings" 
	from the tabs

3)	The "Color Palette" option allows users to select the 
	amount of colors to run Windows 95 at.  The corresponding 
	colors to the displayed options are:


		High Color (16 bit)	65,535 colors
		High Color (24 bit)	16.7 Million colors
		High Color (32 bit)	16.7 Million colors.


	If a selected palette is not supported for a chosen 
	resolution, then the next available resolution for the 
	selected palette will automatically be selected by 
	Windows 95.


	     	For example, if the Desktop area is set 
		for 1024x768 at 16 bit.  If a user selects 
		24 bit color which may only be supported at 
		640x480 (depending on video card), 
		Windows 95 will automatically adjust the 
		resolution to 640x480.


4)	Before choosing the resolution, select the size of the 
	color palette.  To change the resolution, simply move the 
	slide bar under the "Desktop area" until the desired 
	resolution is displayed.  If the resolution is not valid 
	for the chosen color palette, then the next available 
	palette for the resolution will be selected by Windows 95.


		For example, if a video card supports 16 bit 
		color for 1024x768, and a user wants to 
		select 24 or 32 bit color, Windows will 
		automatically set the palette to 16 bit color.  


	If, for some reason, Windows 95 will not allow a supported 
	palette or resolution to be selected, 	make sure the 
	proper monitor type is selected.  If an incorrect monitor 
	is selected, the resolution may not be supported for the 
	specified monitor.


Changing display drivers
==================
There are two ways to change the display drivers in Windows 95.  
The first way is to select the "System" icon from the Control 
Panel, the other way is  to select the "Display" icon from the 
Control Panel.  This readme will detail how to change the display 
drivers both ways.  With some of Orchid Technology video cards 
(i.e. Kelvin series, Fahrenheit 64 series) an Orchid group will be 
created during the driver installation.  This Icon needs to be 
removed from the associated group.

Changing the display driver via the "System" icon:

1)	Double-click on the "System" icon in the Control Panel

2)	From the tabs select "Device Manager" and double click 
	on the "Display adapters" line.

3)	You should now see the display driver that is loading, 
	highlight the display driver and click on the "Properties"
	button

4)	From the Properties display, select "Driver" from the tabs 
	and click on the "Change Driver" button

5)	Select "Show All Devices" to view all possible video 
	drivers, or if you have a diskette, click on the "Have 
	Disk" button.

6)	Select OK until the prompt to restart Windows and select 
	"Yes".



Changing Display Driver through the "Display" icon

1)	Double-click on the "Display" icon in the Control Panel

2)	From the tabs, select "Settings" and click on the 
	"Change Display Type"

3)	To change the video card type, click on the "Change" 
	button that is next to the "Adapter Type" field.  If you 
	want to change the monitor type, click on the "Change"
	button that is next to the "Monitor Type" field.

4)	Select "Show All Devices" to view all possible devices, 
	or if you have a diskette, click on the "Have Disk" 
	button.

5)	Select OK until the prompt to restart Windows and select 
	"Yes".
	
	
Other Issues
=========

1)	Removing the Orchid Icon in the Control Panel

	The Orchid Icon that shows up the Control Panel is only 
	for Windows 3.1x.  The icons should be removed from the 
	Control Panel.  To do so, simply delete the associated CPL 
	file from the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.  The following 
	listing will list which CPL file is associated with the 
	particular Orchid Technology video cards.

	Video Card			CPL File for Video Card
	~~~~~~~~~			~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
	Celsius VLB			CELSETUP.CPL

	Fahrenheit 1280			ORCHIDF.CPL		

	Fahrenheit 1280 + series	FAHSETUP.CPL or 
					ORCHIDF.CPL

	Fahrenheit VA series		FAHSETUP.CPL and 
					SNDSETUP.CPL

	Fahrenheit 64			F64PANEL.CPL

	Fahrenheit PRO 64		F64PANEL.CPL

	Fahrenheit PRO Video 64		F64PANEL.CPL		

	Kelvin 64			KELVINCP.CPL

	Kelvin MPEG			KELVINCP.CPL

	Pro Designer II/IIS		PDSETUP.CPL

2)	Magnify and Virtual Screen are not supported in 
	Windows 95. 

3)	If you select an incorrect video card driver, Windows 95 
	will run in "Safe Mode", this mode essentially boots with 
	a standard VGA driver.  Once in Safe Mode, follow the 
	instructions for changing the display driver.  It is 
	recommended to let Windows 95 detect the video card and 
	load the appropriate drivers.
