Installation Help
=================
The Wildcat Pro Display driver will work with both 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 installing 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 Windows XP with a Wildcat Pro card installed in the
system, the "Found New Hardware" dialog/wizard will not come up after
the final boot into Windows XP. 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 XP PLUG AND PLAY
--------------------------
For driver installation and removal, refer to the Hardware section
of the Windows XP 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.
Automated Installation Help
===========================
NOTES: Make sure you have Windows XP Administrator privileges and write
permission on the target machine, as the automated installation
will create temporary directories on its hard drive. If you are
installing a non-WHQL certified driver, you must set your Driver
Signing Options to "Ignore" in order to prevent Windows XP from
displaying a warning dialog.
1. Create an installation directory on your hard drive and then copy
all installation files from the WCGDRV directory into your newly
created directory on the hard drive. ( NOTE: Do not copy files from
the HEIDI or 3DSMAX directories. These contain the Heidi(r) and
3D Studio Max(r) driver installations, respectively.)
2. Modify the setup.ini file to meet your specifications.
3. Run setup.exe.
4. Reboot the system.
Unattended Installation Help
============================
To install the Wildcat Display driver as part of an unattended
installation of Windows XP, execute the following steps.
1. Copy all driver files to a single directory in the $OEM$\$1\ path of the
distribution directory (ex. d:\winXPdst\i386\$oem$\$1\wcgdrv).
2. Add the following sections to the unattend.txt file:
[Unattended]
OemPreinstall = yes
OemPnPDriversPath = "wcgdrv"
[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:
[Unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore
