3. Installation
3.1 Installing ELSA graphics board for Windows 95/98
Remove your "old" VGA and put the ELSA graphics board into your
computer. If your ELSA graphics adapter contains a VGA-switch,
be sure that it's position is set to the "1" position (VGA
enabled).
On startup Windows 95/98 detects the ELSA graphics board as
"PCI early VGA Device" or a "PCI standard VGA adapter" and
prompts for a manufacturer disk. Now browse through the ELSA CD
and select the proper display driver subdirectory (eg. VICTORY2\
WIN9x). Windows will copy the driver files and prompt you
to reboot the computer. After restarting, Windows is running
with the ELSA display drivers active. If your ELSA graphics
adapter is not the primary display adapter, you have to
activate it by clicking on the connected monitor bitmap in
the global windows display settings. The installation routine
will additionally create the ELSA Settings and ELSA DirectX
Settings property pages.
In all following Windows sessions you can change the
resolution without rebooting your system.

You need an installation of DirectX 6.
