3 Installation
3.1 Installing the ELSA Display Driver
You can install the graphics driver using the Display Properties
sheet. Open the Display Property sheet and select the page
>>Settings<<, click on >>Display Type...<< to open the
dialog window of the same name and select >>Change...<< in the
Adapter Type frame. The >>Change Display<< dialog opens.
NOTE The entry >>Elsa WINNER 1000<< in this listbox will install
the general purpose (and less than optimal) S3 driver designed
by Microsoft. The entries in the Manufacturer's >>S3<< list can
be used but do not always work properly. General purpose
drivers are installed here as well!
Click the button >>Have Disk...<< to install the ELSA drivers.
Windows NT prompts you to enter the disk with the driver or browse
for the path. Select >>Browse...<< when installing from CD-ROM and
locate the file ELSA.INF for the driver suitable for your hardware.
When installing from floppy disk, insert the first driver disk.
Select the >>OK<< button.
A list box appears. Here, choose the entry matching your graphics
adapter and click >>OK<<. Confirm the >>Third-party Drivers<<
dialog with >>Yes<<.
The driver files and utilities are now copied and installed to
your hard disk. When installing from floppies, the >>Insert Disk<<
dialog prompts you when the disk has to be changed.
The >>Installing Driver<< window informs you that the driver has
been installed. Confirm this message and close all display
settings windows until you are asked to reboot your computer.
NOTE With Windows NT 4.0, graphic drivers cannot be loaded
dynamically. This is not an ELSA limitation.
To activate the ELSA driver the computer has to be restarted.
Please press >>Yes<< in the >>System Settings Change<< dialog.
When you've selected to restart, the system will reboot and
the initial installation is finished.
NOTE Windows NT 4.0 will now restart in a resolution of
640*480 pixel at 256 colors and 60Hz refresh, unless you have
updated your driver in which case the previous resolution is
taken over. Refer to your Windows NT Help on how to change the
display properties settings.
After Windows NT is restarted, the dialog >>Registry Editor<<
informs you that some information has been entered into the
registry. This was done to install the display property pages.
Simultaneously the Display Properties sheet opens with the
>>Settings<< page and a dialog >>Invalid Display Settings<<
which tells you that a new driver was installed and that you have
to select your preferred display resolution.
3.2 Installation of the ELSA GLoria Settings
The ELSA GLoria Settings can be easily installed from the Explorer by clicking
the right mouse button on the appropriate GLSET.INF file in the directory "ALPHA\GLSET"
in the source-path for the driver-installation and then selecting "Install...".
NOTE: For deinstallation of the GLoria Settings, choose "Add/Remove Programs"
in Control Panel.
3.3 Installation of the ELSA Winman Suite
The ELSA Winman Suite can be easily installed from the Explorer by clicking
the right mouse button on the appropriate WINMSUIT.INF file in the directory "ALPHA\WINMSUIT"
in the source-path for the driver-installation and then selecting "Install...".
After the installation the system has to be rebooted for the utility to appear in the
task bar. Alternatively, you can start the file WINMSUIT.EXE in your
"WINDOWS NT\ELSAUTIL" directory.
NOTE: For deinstallation of the Winman Suite, choose "Add/Remove Programs"
in Control Panel.
