Installation 3.1 Installing ELSA graphics board for Windows 95/98 Remove your "old" VGA and put the ELSA graphics board into your computer. If your ELSA graphics adapter contains a VGA-switch, be sure that it's position is set to the "1" position (VGA enabled). On startup Windows 95/98 detects the ELSA graphics board as "PCI early VGA Device" or a "PCI standard VGA adapter" and prompts for a manufacturer disk. Now browse through the ELSA CD and select the proper display driver subdirectory (eg. GLORIA\ SYNERGY\WIN9x\STANDARD). Windows will copy the driver files and prompt you to reboot the computer. After restarting, Windows is running with the ELSA display drivers active. If your ELSA graphics adapter is not the primary display adapter, you have to activate it by clicking on the connected monitor bitmap in the global windows display settings. The installation routine will additionally create the ELSA Settings and ELSA 3D Settings property pages and install an OpenGL ICD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.

Known Bugs and Operating Notes This section documents known anomalies or problems and gives hints on work arounds. 5.1 Version 4.10.01.0203-0009 5.1.1 Changing color depth with QuickRes If QuickRes changes the color depth without restarting Windows, sometime you can see drawing errors. QuickRes patches (!) the display driver, so the driver can no longer work properly. 5.1.2 Display errors with DirectX Applications using DirectX could cause display errors when DirectX version I or II is installed. Please install DirectX version 5 to solve this problems. You will find this version of DirectX on the WINNERware CD in the directory MSAPPS\DIRECTX5 5.1.3 OpenGL Hardware-accelerated OpenGL only works in double buffered modes at HiColor or TrueColor. In case your display adapter has 8MB of memory, OpenGL will work at resolutions up to 1280x1024 in HiColor or 1024x768 at TrueColor. With 4MB of display memory OpenGL will be available up to 800x600 in HiColor and only 640x480 in TrueColor. Only single screen solutions are supported, in Windows 98 and Windows 95/OSR2.x 5.1.4 Games Due to a program bug, the game 'Castrol Honda Superbike World- champions' will only run, if the texture format 3-3-2 stays disabled in the DirectX property page. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
