Before installing Windows 95 ------------------------------- 1.1. How to get the updated software from IBM --------------------------------------------- Before you install Windows 95 on your ThinkPad, you may need to get some updated software from IBM or Microsoft. IBM PC Company is providing the updated software through several channels as follows. It is suggested to get the latest software from those channels so that you can set up Windows 95 on your ThinkPad systems with the information described in this document. <WWW server on Internet> The home page for IBM PC Company file library index is; http://www.pc.ibm.com/files.html Select "IBM Portables, Notebooks, Laptops Files" to find the necessary software. <FTP site> The IBM PC Company FTP server address for mobile product software fixes and patches is; ftp.pcco.ibm.com/pub/mobiles <CompuServe ThinkPad Forum> Join CompuServe ThinkPad Forum (GO THINKPAD) and download the necessary software from the library. <IBM PC Company BBS> Use a terminal emulation software and modem to connect the IBM PC Company BBS in the US. The phone number is; 919-517-0001. <Nifty-Serve IBM Forum in Japan> Go to Nifty-Serve FIBMJ Forum (GO FIBMJ or library #20) and get the necessary software (Japanese software only). <PEOPLE BBS in Japan> Go to WIN95.CC Forum (Library #5)and get the necessary software (Japanese software only). If you cannot get the updated software from either one, please contact your IBM representative, or contact IBM HelpCenter (1-800- 772-2227 in the US) for more information. 1.2. System program update (Flash BIOS update) ---------------------------------------------- Before you install Windows 95, you are strongly recommended to get the following version of ThinkPad System Program Service Diskette and to update your flash BIOS. Otherwise, Windows 95 may not run as explained in this document. You need to follow the instructions provided by the system program service diskette very carefully to update your flash BIOS program. Your system could be damaged by incorrect operations during this system program update. <Important!>--------------------------------------------------------- 1. You need to update the flash BIOS prior to install Windows 95 on your ThinkPad. In case you have already installed Windows 95 and update the flash BIOS later, you may need to run "Add hardware Wizard" of Windows 95 once again. If some problem still persists, it is recommended to reinstall Windows 95 after the flash BIOS update. 2. The preview program version of Windows 95 beta and earlier have a problem with IBM ThinkPad System Program Service Diskettes. You MUST turn on the write-protect switch of your ThinkPad System Service Diskette right after you create the diskette from its source file. If you don't, Windows 95 could damage the diskette when you write some data on it, or use "DIR" command against it. In this case, the diskette no longer works as a system service diskette and you need to recreate a diskette from the source diskette image. The commercial release of Windows 95 doesn't have this defect. --------------------------------------------------------------------- <System Program Service Diskettes for ThinkPads> ThinkPad 750 Family - ThinkPad 355/360/750/755C/755Cs Family System Program Service Diskette version 1.41 or later ThinkPad 755C/Cs - ThinkPad 355/360/750/755C/755Cs Family System and 360/355 Family Program Service Diskette version 1.40 or later.

No PnP BIOS support is available on these systems. - ThinkPad 750 Family - ThinkPad 340 (Monochrome display system) - ThinkPad 230Cs 3: IBM is not testing any other ThinkPad systems with Windows 95. Windows 95 may run on those ThinkPad systems but IBM does not plan to test Windows 95 on those systems. 1.3. Backing up your software and data -------------------------------------- IBM recommends that you use a diskette backup program on your system to create recovery diskettes of the preinstalled operating systems, device drivers and applications. In addition, IBM recommends that you back up all data files to disk before installing Windows 95. 1.4. Removing preinstalled software ----------------------------------- <Removing OS/2 Warp> If you purchase a SelectaSystem model and are using OS/2 Warp version 3, Windows 95 cannot be installed with OS/2 Warp dual boot configuration in the SelectaSystem. Therefore, if you wish to install Windows 95, OS/2 Warp should be removed from your system along with all the preinstalled OS/2 applications. "Uninstall OS/2" icon is available for you in "OS/2 Warp" program group folder on your Windows desktop screen of SelectaSystem configuration. If you wish to continue using OS/2 Warp with Windows 95, you need to use OS/2 Warp Boot Manager. For more information, refer to Windows 95 SETUP.TXT file. It can be found on the Windows 95 disk 1 or the Windows 95 CD-ROM. <Removing ThinkPad Welcome Screen> If you plan to install, or have already installed Windows 95 over the following ThinkPad systems with factory preinstalled software, you may encounter "Windows 95 Explorer Fault". - ThinkPad 755C/Cs - ThinkPad 360/355 Family - ThinkPad 755CE/CSE/CD - ThinkPad 340CSE - ThinkPad 370C - ThinkPad 701C/CS If you have this problem, or to avoid this problem, please take the following steps. 1. Edit your WIN.INI file located under C:\WINDOWS subdirectory. For example, type "E C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI" and press ENTER from DOS command prompt. 2. In [windows] section, find the "load=" statement. Remove STRTSCR.EXE from the "load=" statement as follows. <Example> Your original WIN.INI --------------------- [windows] : load=C:\SCREENS\STRTSCR.EXE C:\THINKPAD\FUELWIN.EXE : Remove STRTSCR.EXE ------------------ [windows] : load=C:\THINKPAD\FUELWIN.EXE : 3. After you remove STRTSCR.EXE, you will no longer see the ThinkPad Welcome screen. If you have already removed this screen, nothing will be changed by removing STRTSCR.EXE. 1.5. Windows 95 setup disk for ThinkPad --------------------------------------- To assist the Windows 95 installation, "Windows 95 setup disk" is available through the support network mentioned in "Section 1.1 - How to get the updated software from IBM".

During Windows 95 installation ------------------------------------- You may encounter "Unknown Hardware Found" message when you install Windows 95. In this case, select "Do not install a driver (Windows will not prompt you again)". By doing this, you will see "Unknown Device" under "Other devices" in Windows 95 Device Manager. This "Unknown Device" is ThinkPad Audio device. If you want to see this device name in Device Manager, refer to "Unknown Hardware" problem in Section 2.2. 2.1.2. Video device drivers --------------------------- The video device driver for ThinkPad 755C/Cs systems is included in Windows 95 and it is automatically installed by Windows 95 Setup program. You don't need ThinkPad Windows video device driver any longer but still need to install ThinkPad VESA video driver. The following procedure enables Windows 95 video device driver functions. <Important!>--------------------------------------------------------- The following procedure is NOT applicable on ThinkPad 755CE/CSE/CD/ CX/CV/CDV, 345C/CS and 760C/CD systems. --------------------------------------------------------------------- <Enabling Windows 95 Video device driver> 1. Check your CONFIG.SYS file and look for the following statement. : DEVICE=C:\IBMVESA\VESA.EXE : (Note: The directory "C:\IBMVESA" could be different if you have installed ThinkPad DOS video device driver into a different subdirectory.) If you find the statement, your system is already set up for Windows 95 video device driver for ThinkPad. If not, go to the next step. 2. Obtain ThinkPad Video feature diskette. (The latest version as of 6/1/95 is 1.33) and insert it into the diskette drive. 3. Go to the DOS command prompt. Then, type A:VINSTALL and press Enter. The supported display list appears. 4. Using the Arrow keys, highlight the display type which you use with your ThinkPad, and press Enter. 5. Follow the instructions on the screen to save your display selection; then press F3 to exit the menu. 6. Remove the diskette from the diskette drive; then restart the system.

Click on "Shortcut" tab; and change "Target" program name from "SOUNDREC.EXE" to "C:\WINDOWS\SNDREC32.EXE". (C:\WINDOWS could be different depending on the subdirectory in which you installed Windows 95.) 8. Click "OK"; now you can use "Sound Recorder" under Windows 95. Note: This limitation will be fixed in the next release of ThinkPad Audio feature program. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.2. Known limitations with Windows 95 -------------------------------------- o Token-Ring Credit Card Adapter problem When you use IBM Token-Ring 16/4 Credit Card Adapter II (Part Number 0933931) with Windows 95 PCMCIA support software, the card may not be enabled correctly. Most 755C/Cs products don't have this problem. IBM Token-Ring 16/4 Credit Card Adapter and IBM Token-Ring Auto 16/4 Credit Adapter III (Part Number 04H6922) don't have this problem. The updated driver will be provided from Microsoft drivers library. o Horizontal stripe appears with mouse pointer on external CRT When you attach a high resolution external CRT monitor and switch between a MS-DOS full screen session and Windows 95 desktop, you may observe a horizontal stripe with the mouse pointer. If this happens, take the following steps. 1. Click "My Computer" 2. Click "Control Panel" 3. Click "System" 4. Click on "Performance" tab 5. Click "Graphics..." button 6. Move the slider of "Hardware acceleration" left one notch 7. You will be prompted to restart the system Upon next system boot, the horizontal stripe should disappear. o "Unknown Hardware" problem If you want to fix this problem, you first need to modify a Win95 information file in a hidden directory. If you are not familiar with Windows 95 or you are a non-experienced PC / Windows user, it's not recommended to do the following. Unexpected results may occur if you cannot follow the instructions correctly. 1. Go to MS-DOS Prompt 2. Type "CD INF" and press Enter to go to the subdirectory C:\WINDOWS\INF. (Note that C:\WINDOWS\INF is a hidden directory) 3. Back up NODRIVER.INF. Type "COPY NODRIVER.INF NODRIVER.BAK". These *.INF files are very important for Windows 95 Device Manager and you need to save the original one. 4. Edit NODRIVER.INF. Type "EDIT NODRIVER.INF" and press Enter. 5. Search [Manufacturer] section; Find the following statement. %IBMMfg%=IBM If you can find it, go to the next step. Otherwise, add this statement in [Manufacturer] section. 6. Search [IBM] section; if you don't find it, add [IBM] section somewhere between [Manufacturer] and [NODRIVER] section; find the following statement. %*IBM0040.DeviceDesc%=NODRIVER,*IBM0040 If you cannot find it, simply add this statement in [IBM] section. Otherwise, go to the next step. 7. Search [String] section; find 'IBMMfg="IBM"' statement; after this line, find the following statement. *IBM0040.DeviceDesc="xxxxxx" (xxxxxx is some device name) If you find it, change it to as follows. *IBM0040.DeviceDesc="ThinkPad Audio Device" 8. Save the modified NODRIVER.INF file. And exit MS-DOS prompt. Next, you need to remove "Unknown Device" (or "Mwave DSP") from Device Manager. Then need to refresh the hardware structure. 9. Click "My Computer" 10. Click "Control Panel" 11. Click "System" 12. Click on "Device Manager" tab 13. Click "+" mark of "Other devices"; you see "Unknown Device" (or "Mwave DSP processor"). 14. Click on "Unknown Device" (or "Mwave DSP") and click "Remove" button; click "OK" to confirm. 15. Click "Refresh" button; Windows 95 will restructure the device tree in "Device Manager" and you now should see "ThinkPad Audio Device" under "Other detected devices". <Important!>--------------------------------------------------------- If you encounter any unexpected results by doing the above, you might have failed to modify your NODRIVER.INF file correctly. You should recover your original NODRIVER.INF from NODRIVER.BAK which you've saved. Rename NODRIVER.BAK to NODRIVER.INF and do the above steps again, if desired. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.

Click "My Computer" 2. Click "Control Panel" 3. Click "PC Card" 4. Select "No" for the question "Are you using a PC card to install Windows?"; then click "Next" 5. Select "Yes" for the question "Would you like to review the change to your system files before Windows disable these drivers?"; then click "Next" 6. Verify that the following statements are highlighted to be removed from your CONFIG.SYS. DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDSS01.SYS DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\IBMDOSCS.SYS DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\DICRMU01.SYS DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\$ICPMDOS.SYS DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.SYS C:\THINKPAD\AUTODRV.INI DEVICE=C:\THINKPAD\SRAMDRV2.SYS Click "Next"; Windows 95 also lets you review AUTOEXEC.BAT and SYSTEM.INI. There are no ThinkPad PCMCIA support software setup included in AUTOEXEC.BAT and SYSTEM.INI. 7. After you review all the system files, click "Finish" to complete the Windows 95 PCMCIA support setup. If you want to use the ThinkPad PCMCIA support software after you enabled the Windows 95 PCMCIA support software, you MUST disable Windows 95 PCMCIA support again. Windows 95 disables its own PCMCIA support as default. To make sure this; 1. Click "My Computer" 2. Click "Control Panel" 3. Click "System" 4. Click on "Device Manager" tab 5. Click "+" mark on "PCMCIA socket" 6. Verify that "PCIC or compatible PCMCIA controller" is disabled. (Red "X" sign should be visible on the PCIC icon, and "Device Status" is "This device is disabled" when you double click the PCIC icon.) If the PCMCIA controller is already enabled ("Device Status" is "This device is working properly".), highlight "PCIC or compatible PCMCIA controller" by clicking the PCIC icon; click "Remove" button; then follow the instructions to disable Windows 95 PCMCIA support. 11.5. ThinkPad Docking control utility ------------------------------------- If you have installed Windows 95 over a ThinkPad on which the Docking control utility program for Windows is already installed, don't use the utility. The Docking control utility provides several docking functions under Windows but is not necessary under Windows 95 any longer. All the docking capability by this utility is now provided by ThinkPad Plug-and-Play BIOS and Windows 95 Plug-and- Play support. You don't have to install or use any specific programs to enable ThinkPad docking functions under Windows 95. It is recommended to remove the following statements from Windows INI files. o WIN.INI file [windows] : load=C:\THINKPAD\DOCKWIN.EXE <-remove this statement : o SYSTEM.INI file : [386Enh] : device=IBMPNP.386 <-remove this statement : 11.6. ThinkPad Dock II docking station ------------------------------------- ThinkPad Dock II docking station supports docking and undocking operations without system power off. You can dock and undock the system when it is suspended (warm docking), or you can dock and undock the system when it is powered on (hot docking). This feature is available for 755, 701, 360 and 370 systems. When you use hot / warm docking, you must disable the host adapter SCSI BIOS of Dock II docking station. You can disable the host adapter SCSI BIOS by the Dock II SCSISelect utility. Press Ctrl+A when prompted at boot time. Then select "Configure/View Host Adapter Settings" and disable the Host Adapter BIOS. You can also disable the host adapter BIOS by dip switches. For further information, refer to "Chapter 5. Using the SCSI Controller" of Dock II User's Guide. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. Other ThinkPad Systems -------------------------- 12.1.
