- Installing Supplemental Drivers on a Network
- --------------------------------------------
- This file is intended for system administrators or anyone
- else who will install the drivers in this package onto a
- network for use with a shared copy of Windows.
-
- 1. Create a new directory on the network drive for the
- supplemental drivers you are going to install. It might be
- most convenient to make this directory a subdirectory of
- the Windows directory.
-
- This new directory should not be the Windows system directory,
- where the original Windows device drivers were installed.
-
- 2. Copy all of the files in the Supplemental Driver Library disks
- to the directory you created in step 1.
-
- 3. Copy all of the files in the new directory to the Windows
- directory.
-
- There will then be two copies of these files on your network
- drive. Both sets of drivers are necessary in order to ensure
- that these drivers will work properly on the users' systems.
-
- 4. Delete the file OEMSETUP.INF from the Windows directory.
-
- This ensures that this version of OEMSETUP.INF won't be
- overwritten by another file with the same name.
-
- You should not delete the copy of OEMSETUP.INF that is in the
- directory you created in step 1.
-
- Once these steps are completed, users of the shared copy of Windows
- will automatically have access to these drivers.
-
- The only exception is display drivers. To use one of the display
- drivers included in this package, the user will need to run Setup
- from MS-DOS using the following procedure. (This procedure is not
- necessary for users who will not be using one of these display
- drivers.)
-
- 1. Exit Windows.
-
- 2. Type the following at the DOS prompt and then press ENTER:
-
- setup /n
-
- 3. Press the UP ARROW key to select the Display setting and then
- press ENTER.
-
- 4. Scroll to the bottom of the list using the DOWN ARROW key.
-
- 5. Select Other and press ENTER.
-
- 6. Type the pathname of the display driver and press ENTER.
-
- The driver will be located on the subdirectory created in
- step 1 of the previous set of instructions.
-
- Setup then updates your WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI files to
- correspond to the new driver and then displays an updated
- list of your hardware.
-
- 7. Press ENTER to complete the process.
-
- 8. Start Windows.
-
- The preceding procedure might not work if the user has a
- local copy of Setup. In this case, the user will have to
- manually change the settings in the SYSTEM.INI file and possibly
- take additional actions. If you cannot use Setup /n to gain access
- to a Supplemental Library display driver from the network, follow
- the instructions that follow.

- Manually Installing an SDL Display driver from a Network
- to a Local Workstation
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- You do not need to read the information in the following section
- unless you were unable to use Setup to configure a user's system
- to use a Supplemental Library display driver that is on a
- network share.
-
- Printing this file: You should print this file in landscape
- mode (11 inches wide, 8.5 inches high) so that the table in
- this document will not run off the page.
-
- To manually configure a workstation to gain access to an SDL display
- driver on a network, follow these steps:
-
- 1. Open your SYSTEM.INI file using a text editor, such as Notepad.
- This file should be located in your Windows directory.
-
- 2. Locate the following four settings in SYSTEM.INI. In the [boot]
- section, locate the display.drv= and 386grabber= settings.
- In the [boot.description] section, locate the display.drv= setting.
- In the [386Enh] section, locate the display= setting.
-
- 3. Look up the display driver you want to use in the following list and
- change the corresponding SYSTEM.INI values (the values are what
- appears to the right of the equal sign) to those shown on the list.
-
- Name of display [boot] [boot] [386Enh]
- (enter in [boot.description] display.drv=) display.drv= 386grabber= display=

- * IMPORTANT: If you are converting to one of the Supplemental Library *
- * display drivers from a non-VGA driver, you will need to follow *
- * steps 6 and 7. *
- * *
- * If your previous display was a VGA, you can skip to step 8. *
- * ********************************************************************* *
