1.  Introduction
================
This README file contains release notes for the Intel Express 3D graphics
card display drivers , describing any problems or issues that were known at the time 
of shipment.  The requirements for this release are as follows:

	Windows* 95 
	=========================
	** Windows* 95 Version:                         OSR2.1 or later
							with USB Supplement
	** DirectX* 5.0 Version:                        RC2-Gold
	At time of publication, Windows 98 had not yet been released to 
	production.  See the Intel Express 3D graphics card support website
	for the latest information.

Make certain that the proper operating system requirements are met BEFORE
attempting to install the Intel Express 3D graphics card display drivers.
The USB Supplement for Windows 95 OSR2.0 is available from Microsoft's OEM
System Builder program.  For OSR2.1 and later, the USB Supplement can be 
installed from a subdirectory of the Windows 95 CD.

To find the version information of Windows 95:
	1) Open the System applet from Windows Control Properties.
	2) On the General tab, read the information under Windows 95.  It 
	   should read 4.00.950B for OSR2.1 or 4.00.950C for OSR2.5.
	3) Select Run from the Windows Start menu.  Type regedit and click OK.
	4) View this entry: My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
	   Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
	5) Look at the Version Number field.  It should read 4.03.xxxx
	   if the USB Supplement has been installed.  If it reads
	   4.00.xxxx, you need to install the USB Supplement.

3.  Release Notes
=================

3.1  Intel Express 3D Graphics Card Display Drivers Release Notes
=================================================================
This release fixes:
	(1)  System lock up issue when running InstallShield* under simplified 
	     and traditional Chinese localized versions of Windows*95   
	(2)  Page fault errors that occasionally occur when running 
	     "All Tests" or "All Quality Tests" in 3DWinBench98*.

Known Issues With This Release:
	(1) Some versions of UniVBE do not correctly detect the Intel 
	    Express 3D graphics card.
	(2) Drivers do not currently support multi-monitor.
	(3) In the Windows 95 Control Panel\System applet, the Resources
	    tab for the Intel Express 3D graphics card will list a Memory 
	    Range conflict with the PCI-to-PCI bridge.  This is a normal
	    result of how Windows 95 detects AGP.
	(4) On systems using the SE440BX motherboard with a Crystal PCI
	    sound device down on the motherboard, an interrupt conflict can
	    cause no sound to be heard with older Crystal drivers.  Change
	    the IRQ settings so that the Intel Express 3D graphics card does
	    not share an interrupt with the Crystal device, or remove all 
	    Crystal registry entries and then install newer Crystal drivers.
