- ThinkPad Windows 95 Enhancement Diskette
-
- Thank you for buying an IBM ThinkPad* computer. This upgrade will assist you in
- installing the Microsoft** Windows** 95 operating system. To install Windows
- 95, certain control files and the system BIOS must be updated. A Setup and
- BIOS update diskette have been included to make these updates. During
- installation, your current operating system will be removed. For this reason,
- IBM recommends that you use the Diskette Factory application to create recovery
- diskettes. In addition, you should back up all data files to disk before
- installing Windows 95 (i.e. word processor files, spreadsheets). If you do
- not make backup disks, your data will be lost.
-
- Note: Your system must be set up to boot your DOS operating system for proper
- operation of this upgrade.
-

- Changes made by Setup Diskette Program
-
- System BIOS: Before you install Windows 95, your system BIOS will need to be
- updated to ensure that Plug and Play will function properly. It is possible
- that your system already has the required level of system BIOS. In this case,
- you will get a message that your system does not need to be updated. If this
- happens, continue as if the BIOS had been updated.
-
- ThinkPad Welcome Screens: The ThinkPad Welcome Screens on the following
- ThinkPad systems may cause a "Windows 95 Explorer Fault."
-
- - ThinkPad 755C/Cs
- - ThinkPad 360/355 Family
- - ThinkPad 755CE/CD
- - ThinkPad 340CSE
- - ThinkPad 370C
- - ThinkPad 701C
-
- ThinkPad Welcome Screens will no longer be displayed automatically. The
- programs are not being deleted, the instructions that call the screens are
- removed from your WIN.INI file.
-
- Video device drivers: Video device drivers are included in Windows 95 and are
- automatically installed by Windows 95 Setup program. In addition to this
- driver, the setup disk will install the VESA video driver on the following
- systems.
-
- - ThinkPad 755C/Cs
- - ThinkPad 360/355 Family
- - ThinkPad 370
-
- You will not need to install the Windows 3.1 video driver.
-
- OS/2 Warp: Windows 95 cannot be installed with OS/2 Warp. Therefore, if you
- wish to continue installation of Windows 95, OS/2 will be removed from your
- system along with all preinstalled OS/2 applications.
-
- If you have not used the Diskette Factory application to create diskettes, you
- will have no way to reinstall DOS, Windows 3.1, or OS/2 Warp should you later
- choose to. PCMCIA device drivers : Although Windows 95 comes with the
- integrated PCMCIA support, the installation program does not enable PCMCIA
- support automatically. If you already have EasyPlaying/PC Card Director PCMCIA
- support installed in DOS/Windows, you can continue to use it. However, the
- software will not work in conjunction with Windows 95 plug and play software.
-
- To enable Windows 95 PCMCIA support, open My Computer, open Control Panel,
- double click on PC Card (PCMCIA), then follow the on-screen instructions to
- complete the installation.
-
- This procedure will automatically disable the EasyPlaying/PC Card Director
- drivers by REMarking them out of your CONFIG.SYS file.
