- Release Notes
- -------------
- This is v2.04 of the SpeedStar Pro SE Install/Utilities/Drivers disk set.
-
-
- Windows Installation Notes
- --------------------------
- Use the INSTALL file to install the Windows 3.1 drivers from DOS
- or from the Windows Program Manager.
-
- * Suggestion: Use MS VGA when installing from Program Manager
- to eliminate any OEM files that could create a conflict.
-
- * 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 mode and prompted to select your monitor type. Select
- the brand monitor you have, compatible type, or use the Custom
- Monitor Timings to create your own configuration and custom
- screen centering.
-
- * If you are upgrading from a previous version of the Diamond
- drivers, you MUST install from the DOS prompt. If you
- install from Windows there is a chance that some of the
- InControl Tools data files will not be properly updated.
-
- * Icon fonts are controlled by InControl Tools. When changing
- modes back to VGA or a non-Diamond driver, these settings
- still remain. To change back to default icon font, search
- the WIN.INI file for the IconTypeFace, IconTypeStyle, and
- IconTypeSize lines. Place a semicolon (;) in front of these
- lines or remove the lines entirely.
-
- * Only resolutions that have been selected as supported in the
- Display module will be available in the Viewport 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 select Custom Monitor Timings and Add the mode.
-
- * If Windows only displays a single alphabetic character for the
- icon font, select a different font from the list of InControl
- Tools. Windows may not support the font type/size requested
- in the resolution and resource size displayed.
-
- * If you had screen savers loaded previously, and they seem not
- to load on startup any longer, see the message at the top
- regarding backing up important files and the limitation down
- below of LOAD= line being replaced and not appended. This is
- a limitation of the Windows 3.xx SETUP program. This does not
- occur with the Diamond install.
