Introduction
============
This guide contains the information you need to install our
Windows 95 drivers and tools for your Hercules product.
If You're Updating From An Earlier Release
==========================================
If you already have an earlier version of our Power Drive<tm>
Windows 95 driver installed, you should run the UnInstall
program located in the Hercules PowerTools program group
before continuing. Doing this removes the previous release
of software from your hard drive, as well as all old
references to the drivers and utilities in your configuration
files. The UnInstall program will also change your display
driver back to the standard VGA driver. After running the
UnInstall program, restart your computer. You will be asked
for the first diskette of the new Hercules software. Windows
95 will install the new driver. When asked to restart the
computer, select "No". You will now be ready to install this
new software for the Windows 95 desktop.
Running the SETUP Program
=========================
If you received this software release on diskettes, you'll find the
SETUP.EXE program on Disk 1 of our Windows 95 Driver and Utilities
diskettes -- the very same diskette that contains this README.TXT
file. If you've downloaded our software from one of our online
services, you'll find the SETUP.EXE in the archive -- it will be in
the same directory as is this README.TXT file.
To install the driver and utilities, just run our SETUP.EXE program.
If you run it from the task bar, make sure you type the entire path to
the directory that contains SETUP.EXE. Otherwise, you might
accidentally launch somebody else's setup program.
SETUP.EXE can install the Power Drive driver, our new Touch 95<tm> and
Hercules Entertainment Center<tm> utilities, or both. To
automatically install everything, choose the "Typical" option when
using Setup's "wizard" installation interface. There's nothing more
to do!
What's New In This Release
==========================
Release 1.23 of this software contains the following improvements
over previous release:
- Duplicated cursor issue has been fixed in this release.
- Higher refresh rate has been supported in this release.
Known Limitations
=================
- Video playback is not available when using the viewport (virtual
desktop).
- When using a viewport, your viewport's maximum refresh rate is
limited to the maximum refresh rate of the desktop area if you use
the Auto refresh rate option. For example, if you're using a
desktop area of 1280x1024x256 and a viewport area of 800x600, the
maximum refresh rate is determined by the maximum refresh rate
supported by your card at 1280x1024x256. However, you can
circumvent this issue by manually selecting a viewport refresh rate.
Hercules is on an aggressive schedule to provide solutions to known
limitations whenever possible. If you encounter a problem, please
contact us to ensure that you are using the latest software.
