Automated Installation Help
===========================
NOTE: 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. Modify the setup.ini file to meet your specifications.
3. Run setup.exe.
Unattended Installation Help
============================
Unattended installation allows you to install the driver as part of a
Windows NT 4.0 installation with no end user interaction. These
instructions assume a working knowledge of Windows NT 4.0 unattended
installations.
The Intense 3D Wildcat requires Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 or higher.
For the unattended installation to work properly with the Intense 3D
Wildcat, you must replace the HAL files at your distribution point
with HAL files from Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4. These files include
halmps.dll, halapic.dll, and halmpsm.dll.
WINDOWS NT 4.0 UNATTENDED INSTALLATION
--------------------------------------
1. Add the following entries to the unattended.txt file:
[Display]
ConfigureAtLogon=0
BitsPerPel = 32
XResolution = 1024
YResolution = 768
VRefresh = 75
AutoConfirm=1
InstallDriver=1
InfFile=oemsetup.inf
InfOption="Intense 3D Wildcat Pro"
NOTE: BitsPerPel, XResolution, YResolution, and VRefresh are all variable.
These values can be set to any valid Display Driver setting.

Trouble Shooting
================
IF YOU BOOT NT AND THE SCREEN DOES NOT SYNCHRONIZE PROPERLY, DO THE
FOLLOWING:
Reboot the system to NT, but hit the space bar immediately when
prompted. Select 'Use Last Known Good' in the Configuration Recovery
Menu. This approach assumes the last configuration was a valid
configuration, however.
If the 'Last Known Good' method does not apply to your case, try
selecting the VGA option from the system boot menu. Selecting this
option will boot NT with the VGA driver instead of the GL Display
Driver. At this point you can reinstall the Display Driver.
If all else fails:
Reboot the system to DOS and remove the file WCGMPD.SYS in the directory
%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. Reboot the system again and boot into
VGA mode. Since the Intense3D Wildcat Pro Miniport Driver has been
removed, NT will use the Microsoft standard VGA driver. Re-install the
Wildcat Display Driver using the Display Properties page. Reboot the
system. Following the reboot, select an acceptable resolution using the
Display Properties page.
If your system does not have DOS (NT only), and your installation of NT
uses the standard DOS file system (FATFS), you may boot from floppy, then
remove this file from the system drive. If your NT system was built on
OS/2, or if your NT resides on HPFS, you may boot from an OS/2 system
recovery (boot) floppy and remove the file. If you have an NTFS-
formatted system disk, you will need to reload the NT Operating System
(DO NOT choose to reformat your system disk during reinstallation; this
will erase the data on your hard drive).
