- 5. Do you wish to keep OS/2 on your ThinkPad?
-
- YES => Continue to Step 6.
-
- NO => Skip ahead to Step 7.
-
-
- 6. Boot Manager should be used to control which operating
- system will be started on your ThinkPad. See the
- Windows 95 SETUP.TXT file for more information. It
- is located on Windows 95 Diskette 1 and on the Windows
- 95 CD in the \WIN95 directory. After you have reviewed
- this document and understand what to do, perform the
- necessary actions and then skip ahead to Step 8.
-
-
- 7. Remove OS/2 Warp.

- on the Windows 95 CD in the \WIN95 directory.
-
-
- 8. Make backup copy of system files to be modified.
-
- This installation procedure will require you to view and in
- some cases modify your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and WIN.INI
- files. Before proceeding, we recommend that you make a
- backup copy of these files.
-
- a. At the DOS C:\ prompt, type "MD C:\TP95PREP" and press Enter.
- b. Type "CD \TP95PREP" and press Enter.
- c. Type "COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS" and press Enter.
- d. Type "COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT" and press Enter.
- e. Type "COPY C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI and press Enter.
-
- This will copy these system files to the C:\TP95PREP directory.
-
-
- 9. Remove STRTSCR.EXE (ThinkPad Welcome screens).
-
- To avoid a possible "Windows 95 Explorer Fault" error
- message, you should remove the STRTSCR.EXE from the
- Windows WIN.INI file.
-
- a. Start the Windows 3.1 NotePad application from the
- Accessories Program Group.
- b. Click File, Open. Then type "C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI" and
- press Enter.
- c. Find the lines (near the top) that begin with "load="
- and "run=".
- d. If either line contains "C:\SCREENS\STRTSCR.EXE", then
- delete this portion of the line. For example,
-
- "load=C:\SCREENS\STRTSCR.EXE C:\THINKPAD\FUELWIN.EXE"
- should be changed to:
- "load=C:\THINKPAD\FUELWIN.EXE"
- Or,
- "load=C:\SCREENS\STRTSCR.EXE"
- should be changed to:
- "load="
-
- e. After the change is made, click File, then Exit. Then
- click "Yes" to save the change.
-
-
- 10. Remove unnecessary PCMCIA(**) SRAM, Flash, and ATA drivers.
-
- If you are installing from CD or a network drive and you
- plan to use the Windows 95 Integrated PCMCIA support
- (recommended), you may want to first disable the PCMCIA
- driver for SRAM, Flash, and ATA type PCMCIA cards. This
- will remove the drive letters (usually D,E,F, and G)
- reserved by the PCMCIA driver. These will not be reserved
- when you install the Windows 95 Integrated PCMCIA support
- later, so disabling this driver before installation of
- Windows 95 will give you a consistent default installation
- drive for any Windows 95 drivers you may install in the
- future. To disable the PCMCIA SRAM, Flash, and ATA driver:
-
- a. Edit the CONFIG.SYS (using Windows Notepad or another
- editor.
- b. Find any line that contains:
-
- "DISKDRV.SYS"
-
- Place a "REM " in front of this line so that it will
- not be run. For example,
-
- "DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\DISKDRV.SYS"
- should be changed to:
- "REM DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\DISKDRV.SYS"
-
- c. Exit the editor and save the change.
-
-
- 11. Remove IBM Antivirus for DOS / Windows from the AUTOEXEC.BAT.
-
- This is necessary since the IBM Antivirus for DOS / Windows
- program is not supported in Windows 95. If you are using
- other virus protection software, you should see the SETUP.TXT
- file on the Windows 95 Diskette 1 or in the \WIN95 directory
- on the Windows 95 CD for information before continuing with
- installation.
-
- a. Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT (using Windows Notepad or another
- editor.
- b. Find any line that contains:
-
- "IBMAVDR.BAT"
-
- Place a "REM " in front of this line so that it will
- not be run. For example,
-
- "CALL C:\DOS\IBMAVDR.BAT C:\DOS\"
- should be changed to:
- "REM CALL C:\DOS\IBMAVDR.BAT C:\DOS\"
-
- c. Exit the editor and save the change.
-
-

-
-
- 5. Device Support in MS-DOS Mode
-
- If you're ThinkPad is a 755CD or 755CDV and you want to use
- the internal CD ROM in MS-DOS Mode, see the Item "Adding
- Internal CD ROM Support for MS-DOS Mode" below for
- instructions on creating a unique CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT
- for MS-DOS Mode.
-
- If you're ThinkPad is a 755CE,CSE,CV,CX then it is usually not
- required to use a unique CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT for
- device support in MS-DOS mode. Instead, the CONFIG.SYS and
- AUTOEXEC.BAT used to start Windows 95 can be used. In this
- case, when you select to restart in MS-DOS mode, Windows 95
- will exit to DOS and an additional DOSSTART.BAT will be run.
- For device support, edit C:\WINDOWS\DOSSTART.BAT and ensure
- that the following lines or similar are present:
-
- SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1
- LOADHIGH C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM /Y
- LOADHIGH C:\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:xxxxxxx /M:15
- CALL MWAVE START NOSHOW
-
- NOTES:
-
- a. SET BLASTER entry should match settings for the Mwave DSP
- as set by ThinkPad Setup, DSP, Sound Blaster(**) section
- for I/O Address, IRQ, and DMA. The values above are the
- default values and should work if you initialized CMOS
- as specified in Step 3 above. Use FASTCFG command to
- confirm Mwave DSP Hardware settings for Sound Blaster.
-
- b. Path of your DOS Mouse driver may be different. You may
- need to locate your MOUSE.COM and specify the correct
- path.
-
- c. MSCDEX is only needed if you have a CD ROM drive (for
- example SCSI CD ROM in Dock 1 or Dock 2) that you will
- use in MS-DOS mode. (Substitute the name of your CD ROM
- driver specified in CONFIG.SYS after the "/D:" parameter
- in place of the "xxxxxxxx" on the MSCDEX line).
-
- d. CALL MWAVE START NOSHOW will activate the Mwave DSP in
- MS-DOS mode to provide sound or modem support. Use
- FASTCFG command to setup the Mwave DSP in MS-DOS mode.
-
-
- 6. 755CD and 755CDV Only => Adding Internal CD ROM Support for
- MS-DOS Mode
-
- If you need to use your internal CD ROM in MS-DOS mode, you
- must create an alternate startup configuration (CONFIG.SYS
- and AUTOEXEC.BAT) that will be used when restarting to
- MS-DOS Mode. To create an alternate startup configuration,
- perform the following steps from the Windows 95 Desktop:
-
- a. Double click "My Computer", then "(C:)". Then double click
- the "Windows" folder and find the "Exit To Dos" icon. With
- the right mouse button, click this icon. This should open a
- selection window.
- b. Choose "Properties" from the selection window.
- c. "Exit To Dos Properties" Window should now be displayed.
- Select "Program", then "Advanced". The "Advanced Program
- Settings" window should be displayed. Ensure that the MS-DOS
- mode box is checked.
- d. Click the "Specify a new MS-DOS configuration" circle.
- You may now add DOS statements that will be loaded when the
- system is started in MS-DOS Mode. Add the following lines
- to CONFIG.SYS for MS-DOS Mode and AUTOEXEC.BAT for MS-DOS
- Mode if not already listed. These will also ensure that
- you have Enhanced Video, Mwave Audio, a Mouse Driver, and
- EMS memory required for some DOS games.
-
-
- "CONFIG.SYS for MS-DOS mode:"
-
- DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
- DOS=HIGH,UMB
- DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM FRAME=E000
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\MWW\MANAGER\MWD50430.EXE
- DEVICEHIGH=C:\CDROM\IBMTPCD.SYS /D:TPCD001 /P:170 /R
- DEVICE=C:\V7320\V7320MGR.EXE
- DEVICE=C:\V7320\V7320APM.EXE
-
-
- "AUTOEXEC.BAT for MS-DOS mode"
-
- SET PATH=C:\;C:\THINKPAD;C:\MWD\MANAGER;C:\MWW\DLL;
- SET LIBPATH=C:\MWD\MANAGER
- SET MWPATH=C:\MWD\MANAGER;C:\MWD\MWGAMES
- SET MWROOT=C:\MWD
- SET IPF_PATH=C:\IPFWIN
- SET PS2MSG=C:\THINKPAD\PS2.MSG
- SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1
- LOADHIGH C:\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:TPCD001 /M:15
- LOADHIGH C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM /Y
- CALL MWAVE START NOSHOW
-
- e. After the changes are made, click "OK" and "OK" again to
- close the open windows. This configuration will now be
- used when you restart your system in MS-DOS mode.
-
- IMPORTANT:
- ----------
- To ensure that the Internal CD ROM is recognized in
- Windows 95 after restarting to MS-DOS Mode with internal
- CD ROM support, you will have to do the following:
- - When you are ready to exit MS-DOS mode and return
- to Windows 95, POWER OFF the ThinkPad 755CD,CDV.
- (The ThinkPad must be POWERED OFF to be completely
- reset after the Real Mode CD ROM Driver (IBMTPCD.SYS)
- has been active. Otherwise, Windows 95 will not
- recognize the Internal CD ROM drive.)
-
- - Power On the ThinkPad. The following message will
- be displayed:
-
- Windows 95 is now starting your MS-DOS-based program.
- Press ESC now to cancel MS-DOS mode and restart Windows 95...
-
- - While this message is displayed, press ESC and
- Windows 95 will start and the Internal CD ROM
- will be recognized.
-
- NOTES:
-
- a. SET BLASTER entry should match settings for the Mwave DSP
- as set by ThinkPad Setup, DSP, Sound Blaster section for
- I/O Address, IRQ, and DMA. The values above are the
- default values and should work if you initialized CMOS
- as specified in Step 3 above. Use FASTCFG command to
- confirm Mwave DSP Hardware settings for Sound Blaster.
-
- b. Path of your DOS Mouse driver may be different. You may
- need to locate your MOUSE.COM and specify the correct
- path.
-
- c. CALL MWAVE START NOSHOW will activate the Mwave DSP in
- MS-DOS mode to provide sound or modem support. Use
- FASTCFG command to setup the Mwave DSP in MS-DOS mode.
-
-
- 7. Removing DOS Startup Menu in CONFIG.SYS
-
- If you are currently using a Startup Menu in CONFIG.SYS,
- you may want to skip this menu now that Windows 95 is
- installed. Use of this type of startup menu in CONFIG.SYS
- is usually not required in Windows 95 since Windows 95:
-
- - Is less prone to Conventional Memory Constraints.
- - Can automatically develop configurations for
- Docked and Undocked states.
- - Can Restart to MS-DOS Mode when required.
-
- If you would like to skip this menu during startup, do the
- following:
- a. At the DOS Prompt, type Edit C:\CONFIG.SYS and press Enter.
- b. In the [MENU] section of CONFIG.SYS, find the line that
- begins with "MENUDEFAULT=". This line specifies which
- DOS menu selection will be used as default, and the time
- to wait before starting without any input.
- c. If there is a comma followed by a number at the end of
- this line, change the number to 0.
- d. If there is no comma and number at the end of this line,
- add the following at the end of the line with no space
- after the configuration name:
- ,0
- e. Click File, then Exit, then Yes to save the change. At your
- next restart, Windows 95 should use the default startup in
- your CONFIG.SYS without displaying the menu.
-
-
- 8. Configuring ThinkPad Hardware Devices in Windows 95
-
- If you need to change any of your hardware device settings
- such as I/O address, IRQ, or DMA, you need to use the proper
- utility for the device you wish to configure. In some cases
- you will need to use Windows 95 Device Manager and in some
- cases you will need to use the ThinkPad Setup utility. See
- the table below for the utility to use for each device:
-
- Hardware Device To Change Resource Settings
- --------------- ---------------------------
- Mwave DSP Windows 95 Device Manager
- - Sound Blaster Windows 95 Device Manager
- - MPU-401 MIDI Windows 95 Device Manager
- - Modem Windows 95 Device Manager
-
- Infrared ThinkPad Setup, Infrared
- Serial ThinkPad Setup, Serial
- Parallel ThinkPad Setup, Parallel
- Enhanced Video ThinkPad Setup, Video Controller
-
-
-
- NOTE: A Red X beside a device in Device manager only means
- that the device is disabled in the current configuration.
-
- NOTE: The Enhanced Video Device on the 755CD and 755CDV models
- is listed as an "Unknown Device" in the Windows 95 Device
- Manager, but still works properly.
-
-
- 9. Horizontal Stripe Following Mouse Pointer on External CRT
-
- When you attach a high resolution external CRT and switch
- between a MS-DOS full screen session and the Windows 95
- desktop, you may see a horizontal line that follows the
- mouse pointer. If this happens, perform the following steps
- to correct the problem:
-
- a. Double click My Computer, then Control Panel, then System.
- b. Click on the "Performance" tab, then click the "Graphics"
- button.
- c. Move the "Hardware acceleration" slider one notch to the left.
- d. Restart Windows 95 when prompted.
-
-
- 10. 755CD and 755CDV Only => Asymetrix(**) Digital Video Producer(**)
- Capture Tool
-
- If you are unable to open the Options, Video Format menu in
- the Digital Video Producer Capture Tool, please do the following:
- a. Close Digital Video Producer Capture and close Digital Video
- Producer if open.
- b. Restart Digital Video Producer Capture Tool (but not Digital
- Video Producer).
- c. Retry Options, Video Format.
- d. If it still fails, close Digital Video Producer again and
- restart Digital Video Producer again. Then retry Options,
- Video Format.
-
- Currently, the Options, Video Format menu only works on every
- other start of Digital Video Producer Capture in Windows 95.
- It does not open at all when the Capture tool is started from
- the tool menu of the main Digital Video Producer. (The capture
- tool must be started directly).
-
- NOTE: This problem may be fixed in a future release of the
- IBM ThinkPad 755CD Enhanced Video Features (version
- higher than 1.20).
