applications and the hardware acceleration of the Wildcat
Realizm video card through the use of OpenGL.

Installation Help
-----------------
MSI Single file installation:
To install the application driver package, simply double-click on
the ".msi" file. The MSI package will copy the application drivers
to your system and run a custom setup program to allow you to
install the drivers for your application. A shortcut to the custom
setup program and readme.txt file will be placed in the start
programs menu under "3Dlabs/Application Drivers". You can use
these to install the driver at any time and view this reademe file,
for the specific application driver package.
To un-install the driver package from your computer, use the Windows
add/remove programs utility in the control panel.
You must un-install any currently installed application driver
packages, before installing a new one.
File Locations:
The application drivers and setup program will be stored in a
folder on your system: "Program Files\3Dlabs\Application Drivers".
Un-installing the package will remove these files from your system.
Loading the driver in 3DSMax:
Consult your 3DSMax documentation for configuring the application
to use a custom driver.
Notes:
If setup is not able to find 3DSMax in the system registry, it will
not install the driver and will exit. The driver setup program will
only install for an application that has been registered in your
operating system's registry. There are several valid reasons for
this instance. A Beta version that does not have a normal product
registry entry or multiple versions installed on the system, for
example. You can simply copy the apropriate driver file to the
application directory. The version of the driver can be determined
by right-clicking on the driver file and viewing the file
properties.
