Dynamite 3D/GL Windows 95 Drivers and Tools Version 1.06.0351 Installation Guide July 27th, 1998 CONTENTS Introduction If You're Updating From An Earlier Release Running The SETUP Program What's New In This Release Known Limitations How To Contact Hercules Introduction ============ This guide contains the information you need to install our Windows 95 drivers and tools for your Hercules product. If You're Updating From An Earlier Release ========================================== If you already have an earlier version of our Power Drive<tm> Windows 95 driver installed, you should run the UnInstall program located in the Hercules PowerTools program group before continuing. Doing this removes the previous release of software from your hard drive, as well as all old references to the drivers and utilities in your configuration files. The UnInstall program will also change your display driver back to the standard VGA driver. After running the UnInstall program, restart your computer. You will be asked for the first diskette of the new Hercules software. Windows 95 will install the new driver. When asked to restart the computer, select "No". You will now be ready to install this new software for the Windows 95 desktop. Running the SETUP Program ========================= If you received this software release on diskettes, you'll find the SETUP.EXE program on Disk 1 of our Windows 95 Driver and Utilities diskettes -- the very same diskette that contains this README.TXT file. To install the driver and utilities, just run our SETUP.EXE program. If you run it from the task bar, make sure you type the entire path to the directory that contains SETUP.EXE. Otherwise, you might accidentally launch somebody else's setup program. If you've downloaded our software from one of our online services, simply run the self-extracting archive program -- it will automatically decompress and install the drivers in this release. You can install the Power Drive driver, our new Touch 95<tm> and Hercules Entertainment Center<tm> utilities, or both. To automatically install everything, choose the "Typical" option when using Setup's "wizard" installation interface. There's nothing more to do! What's New In This Release ========================== 1. 3DLabs Helper Demon no longer unexpectedly pops up when some OpenGL applications are started. Known Limitations ================= 1. This release may cause a slowdown with Turok: Dinosaur Hunter on some systems. If you experience this problem, uncheck 'Render Overlap' in the Video Setup screen in Turok. Hercules is on an aggressive schedule to provide solutions to known limitations whenever possible. If you encounter a problem, please contact us to ensure that you are using the latest software.
