- 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 refernces 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 now be ready to
- install this new software.
-
-
- 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 With This Release
- ============================
-
- 1. Terminator 3D/DX has been supported.
- 2. Duplicated cursor on OSR2 bug has been fixed.
- 3. Hardware MPEG play back problem has been resolved.
-
-
- Known Limitations
- =================
-
- 1. 1600x1200x16bpp is not available.
-
- 2. Video playback is not available when using the viewport (virtual
- desktop).
-
- 3. 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.
