- Installation Utility for Windows95 (Version 4.00.30)
- 07 07 96
-
-
- SOFTWARE PACKAGE CONTENTS
-
- The Windows95 Maui software package contains (1) 3.5" 1.44M diskette,
- for the installation of DOS mode and Windows95 drivers.
-
-
- INSTALLATION PROCESS
-
- It is recommended that you print this out and have a hard copy in
- front of you while installing the drivers.
-
-
-
- SECTION I
- INSTALLING THE DRIVERS
-
- 1. Make sure you have the driver disk handy. If you downloaded this
- driver package, then you need to copy all the files onto a floppy
- disk. The driver should not be installed from a hard disk
- directory.
-
- 2. If Windows95 is running, select the START button and select SHUT
- DOWN, then 'Shut Down the Computer'. When you are clear to do so,
- power off the computer, and plug the Maui card into a slot.
-
- Even if the Maui is already installed, powering down is still a
- good idea. Leave the computer off for about a minute. Turning
- the computer off and then right back on can damage the peripherals
- inside.
-
- 3. Power on the computer. While it is booting up, hit the F8 key as
- soon as you see the message "Starting Windows95...". From the menu,
- select 'Safe Mode'. It will take a few minutes, but once you've
- entered Safe Mode, go to the Device Manager and double-click on
- 'Sound, Video, and Game Controllers'. Remove the Maui driver (if
- installed).
-
- Even though you may have uninstalled them before, Windows95 has
- the nasty habit of letting some sound card drivers hang around.
- It is a good idea to remove any that you are not currently using.
-
- When you are finished, close the Device Manager. Click on the
- START button, then SHUT DOWN. Select 'Restart the computer' and
- let it reboot.
-
- 4. Once you enter Windows95 again, double-click on the My Computer
- icon and then on the Control Panel icon. Then double-click on
- the Add New Hardware icon.
-
- 5. When Windows95 asks you to search for new hardware, select 'no'
- and proceed to the next window.
-
- 6. Windows 95 will display a list of device categories that you can
- install from. Select 'Sound, Video, and Game Controllers', and
- then 'Next' to proceed.
-
- 7. Windows 95 will display another list of manufacturers and their
- products. Place Disk 1 (of this driver package) in your floppy
- drive, and click on the 'Have Disk...' button. It may bring up
- a dialog box asking which drive the disk is in. Select the drive
- the disk is in.
-
- 8. Once the disk is read, Windows95 will bring up a list of devices
- you can install. This list will only have one option, the Turtle
- Beach Maui WaveFront Synthesizer.
-
- 9. Click on the Turtle Beach Maui and then click on 'Next' to install
- the drivers. Windows95 will allow you to view the settings (via the
- 'Details' button) that it has determined will work for your system.
- Don't worry; you can change those later if you want to. Windows95
- will then copy some files from the floppy disk then prompt you to
- finish. Click on 'Finish' and you will be asked to restart your
- system. Select 'yes' and restart.
-
- The WaveFront port address is based on the hardware jumper settings
- on the Maui sound card. This port address must match what you
- have the Maui set to in order to work. Windows95 cannot determine
- the jumper settings and will default to port 330 (if it does not
- conflict with another device). You can change this after restarting
- the computer to whatever your jumpers are set at.

-
- SECTION II
- CHANGES TO YOUR SYSTEM
-
- SYSTEM.INI
-
- All changes to Windows will be made in the Registry, and nothing
- will appear in the SYSTEM.INI file. All previous entries will be
- deleted, hopefully.
-
-
-
- SECTION III
- KNOWN PROBLEMS AND WORKAROUNDS
-
- 1) The download code configuration file (OSWF.MOT or OSMAUI.MOT) has
- been renamed to WFMAUI.MOT to coincide with the new drivers. In
- DOS mode, if you run the SETUPSND program, please point it to the
- new file and not the old one.
-
- 2) This installation copies a new WFPATCH.INI into your Windows95
- directory. This file lists the locations of the WaveFront banks
- (which you may or may not have all installed). You may need to use
- Notepad (or another text editor) to edit the file to change the
- directory to where the file(s) actually is/are.
-
- 3) If you play a DOS game from within Windows95, and it uses the Maui
- as a General MIDI card, there is a good chance that Windows95 will
- "lose" the WaveFront synthesizer on return to Windows95. You must
- restart Windows95 to get it back.
-
- 4) There is a problem with the Maui WaveFront driver for Windows95
- and the native Tahiti drivers for Windows95. There seems to be a
- conflict between the two. We recommend not using these drivers
- if you have a Tahiti and the native drivers for it (TAHITI95.ZIP)
- installed on your system.
