Introduction
============
This guide contains the information you need to install our Windows 95
drivers and tools for your Hercules product.
Important Note For Those Upgrading From Version 1.00
====================================================
The UnInstall utility contained in Version 1.00 of the Windows 95
software for the Dynamite 128/Video was found to have problems.
DO NOT uninstall the 1.00 software using the UnInstall program.
We recommend installing the 1.03 release in the same directory and
program group to avoid complications. Follow the instructions
found in "Running the SETUP Program" below. If you are upgrading
from Version 1.01, you may use the UnInstall program as described
in "If You're Updating From An Earlier Release" below.
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 1.03 of this software contains the following improvements
over 1.00:
- Bug fixes
This driver fixes DirectDraw problems which cause slow MPEG
playback using the XingMPEG player in high color modes.
Known Limitations
=================
- A green flicker has been identified when playing MPEG files using
the XingMPEG driver in a full window (bordered with the title bar)
in high color and true color modes. This problem can be alleviated
by playing the MPEG file at full screen (no border, no title bar).
We are currently working with Tseng Labs to resolve this problem.
How Do I Get Help?
==================
Please see our Installation Guide for complete instructions for
contacting us, or click on "Reach Us" within Touch 95 or Hercules
Entertainment Center. We'll be happy to help you with any questions
or difficulties you may have.
We've set up a page on our Internet World Wide Web site just for
Windows 95 users. It contains the latest information on Windows 95
drivers and utilities, as well as the answers to our most frequently
asked questions, so you'll want to check it first before contacting
us. The URL is:
