Windows95 Installation Notes
1.  From Windows 95, select Start, then Run.

2.  Insert the Diamond GT Windows 95 Drivers diskette into your floppy drive.

3.  In the Run dialog box, type in the following:

        A:\INSTALL <enter>

    Where A is the drive letter of the floppy drive containing the Diamond GT
    Windows 95 Display Drivers / InControl Tools 95 diskette.

    The following command line switches can be used with INSTALL:

        /f              This forces a Full installation (Diamond GT 
                        display driver and InControl Tools 95).

        /m            This forces a Minimal installation (Diamond GT
                        0display driver only).

        /d"drive:\path" This installs InControl Tools 95 into drive:\path. Note
                                  that the quotes around the drive and path are
                                  required, and that either the /f or /m must be used
                                  in conjunction with this switch.

        /r              This forces a system reboot after installation.  Note
                         that either the /f or /m switches must be used in
                         conjunction with this switch.

        /nr             This prevents a system reboot after installation.
                          Note that either the /f or /m switches must be
                          used in conjunction with this switch.

        uninstall       This will completely uninstall the Diamond GT display
                              driver and InControl Tools 95.

4.  From the Diamond Setup dialog box, select Next.

5.  From the Hardware Check dialog box, select Next.

6.  A dialog box will appear containing the path where InControl Tools 95 
    will be installed.  The default path is:

        C:\Program Files\Diamond

    Select Next, or change the path as necessary.

7.  The next dialog box selects the installation type.  There are three
      installation types, Minimal, Full, and Custom.  They are defined as
      follows:

         Minimal:  This will install only the Diamond GT display driver.

         Full:     This will install both the Diamond GT display driver
                     and InControl Tools 95.

         Custom:   This will allow installation of either the Diamond GT
                         display driver or InControl Tools 95.  At the minimum, 
                         the Diamond GT display driver must be installed during
                         a first-time installation.

8.  If Custom was selected in step 7, a dialog box will appear allowing
     selection of various items.  Select the items to be installed by
     clicking on them with the left mouse button.  When finished, click
     Next to continue.

9.  At the Select Files to be copied dialog box, click Next to begin the
     file copy process.

10. After the files have been copied, a Finished Installing dialog box will
      appear.  Remove the installation diskette from the floppy drive, then click
      Finish.

11. Windows 95 will ask that the computer be restarted.  Click on Yes to
      restart the computer.

Known Limitations
If these drivers are installed from "Have Disk" with the Microsoft S3 driver 
already active, the Microsoft driver will overwrite the PCI frame buffer 
address.  The system *MUST* be powered down after installing the Diamond GT 
Windows 95 display driver to remedy this issue.  Note that this issue does not
occur when installing over the Microsoft VGA driver.

If the Off function of DPMS is enabled, the system will not resume after the
Off state is reached.

DDC monitors are not supported in this release.  This will be addressed in the
final release of these drivers.

Using a Stealth64 Video 2001 series card at 1280x1024 8-bit desktop with a
640x480 viewport, the viewport may be displayed incorrectly.

A General Protection Fault may occur by running After Dark for Windows v.3.1.
Upgrading to After Dark v.3.2 will resolve this issue.

If you have an MVP 2000 module for your Stealth64 Video 3000 series card, you
may experience icon corruption.  If this occurs, power the system off, remove the
MVP 2000 module, restart the system, enter Windows 95, then change color depths.
This will be addressed in the final release of these drivers.

To view the Online Internet Services, your World Wide Web browser must be
registered with the Windows 95 Registry.

Using Microsoft's The Fox and The Bear application in 640x480 16bpp, the
display will not be correct.  This problem is being investigated.

With some BIOSes, you may encounter problems switching between the desktop and
320x200 or 320x240 DirectDraw modes.  This problem is being investigated.

The following BIOSes have been tested with the Diamond GT display driver.  If
you have an older BIOS and are encountering difficulties, it is recommended
that you contact Diamond Customer Service at 408-325-7100 (option 3) to get the
current version of the BIOS for your Diamond display adapter:

                                        	      BIOS 3.00, 3.01
