Prepare for the first installation

To install the ELSA WINNER graphic drivers, the WINNER board must be build in the computer. The standard Windows 95 installation procedure normally automatically detects a S3 based graphics board and installs a working driver provided by Microsoft.

No mouse pointer visible

If you use the Microsoft provided drivers on a new WINNNER 2000 or a GLoria board you don’t see any mouse pointer. This is because the MS drivers can not detect the used RAM-DAC correctly.

To activate a software cursor while installing the ELSA drivers, use the TAB key to highlight this button [image] and then press ENTER.
