Release Notes
-------------
This is v4.02.020 of the Stealth 3D 2000 Series Windows 95 driver.

Windows95 Installation Notes
----------------------------

A.  If Windows 95 is already installed
--------------------------------------

1. When you first install the video card in the system and power on, Windows 
   95 will inform you that it has discovered a new PCI VGA compatible display
   adapter, and will prompt you to install drivers for it.  You will want to
   select "Driver from disk provided by hardware manufacturer".

2. Windows 95 will prompt your for the disk to install the drivers from.  Make
   sure that you have the Stealth 3D 2000 series CD-ROM inserted into your
   CD-ROM drive, and enter the path X:\WIN95 then click "OK" (where X is the
   drive letter of your CD-ROM drive).

3. Select Device:
   Select "Stealth 3D 2000 Series (4.02.014)".
   
4. Click "OK" then "Close" and follow the Windows 95 prompts.


Note: This driver configures the display adapter's refresh rate 
      AUTOMATICALLY according to the capabilities of the monitor
      to which it is attached and which has been properly configured
      using MONITOR TYPE.


B.  Installing Windows 95 after the installing the Stealth 3D
-------------------------------------------------------------

1. If you install Windows 95 after you have installed the Stealth 3D 2000, 
   Windows 95 will use a generic S3 driver for the Stealth 3D 2000.  When you
   reboot Windows 95 after installation, you will receive a message notifying
   you that your display adapter is not configured properly.  Click Cancel.

2. Right-click on My Computer and choose Properties.  Click on the Device
   Manager tab.

3. Upon looking at the Device Manager, you'll notice that in addition to the
   S3 driver, there is a PCI VGA-Compatible Display Adapter listed in the Other
   Devices section.  Select the PCI VGA-Compatible Display Adapter and click
   the remove button at the bottom of Device Manager.

4. A message box will appear notifying you that the Display Adapter has a ROM,
   cautioning you not to remove a device that Windows 95 may need in order to
   boot properly.  As this is NOT THE CASE for this driver, click Test.  Your
   screen may blank temporarily.  Then the device will be removed.  Click OK
   to close the device manager.

5. Next, double-click your desktop to open the Display Control Panel.  Click
   the Settings tab.  You will receive a message that the display hardware is
   not working properly.  Click Cancel.

6. Click the Change Display Type button.  In the Adapter Type section, click the
   Change button.  Click the Have Disk button.  In the space labeled "Copy manu-
   facturers files from" type X:\WIN95 (where X is the letter that corresponds
   to your CD-ROM drive). You may also click on the Browse button and navigate 
   out to the CD-ROM and find the WIN95 folder that way.

7. Click OK.  Once Windows 95 has finished copying the appropriate files to your
   hard drive, click close.  Finally, click OK on the Display Control Panel.
   Windows 95 will restart.


Custom Monitor Support
----------------------
The Custom Monitor Utility allows you to select the best refresh rate for your
monitor.  You may want to have your monitor's manual or specifications with you
while using this utility.  To access the monitor utility: 

1. Right click on the desktop, and select properties.

2. Click on the Diamond Refresh tab.

3. You will be presented with 3 choices.
      
   i.   Use Windows 95 Default Monitor Settings - choose this setting to use the
	refresh rates that Windows 95 automatically assigns for the monitor 
	selected.

   ii.  Use Default Hardware Settings - choose this setting to use the Stealth 
	3D 2000's default refresh rates.

   iii. Use Customized Monitor Refresh Settings - choose this setting to select
