Release Notes
-------------
This is v1.01 of the Stealth 3D 2000 Pro Series Windows v3.1 driver disk.
Windows Installation Notes
--------------------------
Use the INSTALL program to install the Windows 3.1 drivers from DOS or
from the Windows Program Manager.
* Suggestion: If you are upgrading from a previous version of the
Diamond InControl Tools, you should install from DOS, not from
within Windows. This will bypass errors regarding any files that
may be in use and cause the installation to fail.
* Suggestion: When running the Windows install use MS VGA
to eliminate any OEM files that could create a conflict.
* When running a Windows install, if the install says
"file in use, abort/continue" and the file in question is
a font (*.FON) file, continue the install.
* If strange errors occur and text is missing from dialogs,
check for *.VBX files in your \WINDOWS directory. *.VBX files
should only reside in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM sub-directory.
Once the driver launches Windows, you will be placed in 640x480
256-color 60Hz mode and InControl Tools Lite will launch. See below for
instructions for using InControl Tools Lite.
For cards with TV-OUT capability
--------------------------------
If you are using TV-OUT capabilities, select television as your monitor
type in InControl Tools Lite. See below for further details on selecting
a monitor.
InControl Tools Lite
--------------------
InControl Tools Lite (hereafter referred to as ICT Lite) is a
program that allows you to control the resolution, refresh rate,
color depth, and font size of your desktop.
Before ICT Lite will allow you maximum control of your
desktop, ICT Lite needs to know about your monitor. To define
your monitor, you can select your monitor from the list of
monitors (if it is listed), select a monitor that is close to
your monitor's characteristics, or define your monitor using
User Defined Monitor.
To use User Defined Monitor:
1. Open Control Panel.
2. Select InControl Tools Lite.
3. Select User Defined Monitor from the monitor list.
4. This will bring up a dialog box containing the resolutions
and refresh rates supported by the Stealth 3D 2000 Pro Series
adapter.
5. Select the resolutions and refresh rates supported by
your monitor. Refer to your monitor's documentation for
this information. Please note that selecting incorrect
resolutions or refresh rates can cause damage to your
monitor. Diamond Multimedia Systems, Inc., cannot be
held responsible for damages that occur to your monitor
from selecting resolutions and refresh rates not supported
by your monitor.
6. After adding the resolutions and refresh rates supported
by your monitor, select OK.
7. Select the resolution, color depth, and system resource size
you wish to use.
8. Select OK. You will be prompted to restart Windows. Select
Restart Windows.
9. After Windows restarts, a dialog box will appear asking if
the selected video mode appears correct. If it does, select OK.
If you do not respond within 10 seconds, or if you select Cancel,
ICT Lite will return your video mode to 640x480 256-color 60Hz.
Once you have defined your monitor via any of the three methods above,
you may change your resolution, color depth, and system resource size
via the pull down menus in ICT Lite. Only resolutions that have been
selected as supported in the Display module will be available in the Desktop
choices. If your monitor can display a resolution provided by the card,
go to Display and select a monitor that offers that mode and refresh, or
see the above instructions for selecting a User Defined Monitor. Making
changes will cause Windows to restart. If you change the refresh rate of a
User Defined Monitor monitor, but do not select a different resolution or
color depth, exit Windows and restart. After Windows restarts, a dialog box
will appear asking if the selected video mode appears correct. If it does,
select OK. If you do not respond within 10 seconds, or if you select Cancel,
ICT Lite will return your video mode to 640x480 256-color 60Hz.
Note:
ICT Lite does not include the following features found in the standard ICT for
Windows 3.1:
Panning, zooming, virtual desktops, viewports, popup menu, color (brightness,
contrast, etc.), aspect ratio, icon fonts, font size, font color, font aspect
ratio, playing wave and midi files through ICT, full motion video played
through ICT, hotkeys through ICT, running other programs through ICT, and
