- 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. VICTORY\
- 3DX\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.
