Product: WCGDRV
Version: 04.01.02.09
Date: 3-JAN-2001
Description:
The 3Dlabs Wildcat PRO Display Driver provides support for accelerated
high-resolution and high-color video using OpenGL.
This release of the Wildcat Pro Display Driver does not support DirectX.
This driver supports standard and wide format 24-inch and 28-inch
monitors.
This release of the Wildcat PRO Display Driver will only install and run
on systems running Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4 (or later).
This driver uses the Intel© SIMD Extensions. Microsoft© WindowsNT 4.0 must
have Service Pack 4 and the Streaming SIMD extensions loaded, or
Service Pack 5 or later must be installed in order for the driver to
work correctly.
NOTE: If you have Service Pack 4 and the extensions installed, and
upgrade with Service Pack 5, you need to uninstall the SIMD
extensions before installing Service Pack 5. Reference the
support information at the following Web page:

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 3Dlabs Wildcat requires Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 or higher.
For the unattended installation to work properly with the 3Dlabs
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="3Dlabs Wildcat Pro"
NOTE: BitsPerPel, XResolution, YResolution, and VRefresh are all variable.
These values can be set to any valid Display Driver setting.
NOTE: InfOption is variable. It has a matching value in the
oemsetup.inf file. This matching value can be found under
[Intense3D.Mfg] on the left side of the = sign. These two
values must match exactly.
2. Copy all display driver files to the $oem$\DISPLAY folder of the
distribution point. Any files on multiple installation disks
should be copied to this folder.
Uninstall Help

The cursor will change to a question mark with an arrow. Next, click
on the control on which you wish to receive help.
- Right-click the control on which you wish to receive help.
- Set the focus on the control you wish to receive help about and press F1.
Any of these methods will bring up a small box filled with text that provides
information on the control you have chosen.

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 3Dlabs 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).
