Installation Help
=================
This driver will not run on any machine which does not have PCI backplane
hardware. The Wildcat Pro Display driver will work with both the AGP and
AGP Pro versions of the Wildcat Display adapter.
See MANIFEST.TXT for a list of delivered files.
Please refer to the installation documentation provided with the media
supplied with your system.
If you are trying to load an updated driver from the 3Dlabs web site,
please do the following:
1. Save the self-extracting .zip file to a temporary directory on the
system hard drive.
2. Double-click the self-extracting zip file to unzip the driver files.
These driver files are compressed and will be expanded during the
installation process.
NOTE:
When re-installing Windows2000 with a 4210 card installed in the
system, the "Found New Hardware" dialog/wizard will not come up after
the final boot into Windows 2000. You must install the driver. Simply
run the setup.exe program located with the Wildcat driver software,
then reboot the system. The setup.exe program will install the driver
for you.
WINDOWS 2000 PLUG AND PLAY
--------------------------
For driver installation and removal, refer to the Hardware section
of the Windows 2000 online help. This Help is generally available by
clicking on "Start" at the bottom left of the screen, and selecting the
help entry from the menu.
NOTE: During the installation, a dialog box will appear indicating that
another disk is needed. This will correspond to the installation
disks. Verify that the path in the entry line at the bottom of
the dialog box points to the location for the next disk and
select the option that will allow you to continue installation.
If you have downloaded an updated driver from the 3Dlabs web
site, enter the path corresponding to the Disk1, Disk2,...
folders created by the self-extracting zip file.
Unattended Installation Help
============================
To install the Wildcat Display driver as part of an unattended
installation of Windows 2000, execute the following steps.
1. Copy all driver files to a single directory in the $oem$\$1\ path of the
distribution directory (ex. d:\win2kdst\$oem$\$1\wcgpro).
2. Add the following sections to the unattend.txt file:
[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnPDriversPath = "\wcgpro"
[Display]
BitsPerPel = 32
XResolution = 1024
YResolution = 768
VRefresh = 75
3. Execute the unattended installation.
NOTE: To bypass the digital signing check for a non WHQL version of the
driver, add the following entries to the unattend.txt file:
[SetupParams]
DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
Automated Installation Help
===========================
NOTES: Make sure you have write permission on the target machine as the
automated installation will create temporary directories on its
hard drive.
1. Create an installation directory on your hard drive and then copy
all installation files into that directory. You may either create
a directory structure having a disk1, disk2, ... format or just
dump all files into the same directory.
2. Copy the contents of each installation disk to its corresponding
folder.
3. Modify the setup.ini file to meet your specifications.
4. Run setup.exe.
