Windows 95 Drivers and Tools Version 4.52 Installation Guide Terminator Professional Terminator 64/Video Terminator 64/DRAM Terminator 32/DRAM April 29th, 1996 CONTENTS Introduction If You're Updating From An Earlier Release Running The SETUP Program What's New In This Release Known Limitations 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 In This Release ========================== 4.52 software contains the following improvements over 4.51: - Some modifications to Touch 95 dialog boxes - Online help for Touch 95 and Hercules Entertainment Center now covers the new tools - Bug fixes - Dramatic speed improvements - Touch 95 now has the option to be launched from an icon on the taskbar. - Touch 95 now has a "Zoom In" tab which provides a screen magnification utility - Hercules Entertainment Center now includes a video browser Known Limitations ================= - 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.
