Quick Installation of Diamond Drivers and Utilities

This section covers the installation of your Diamond drivers and Diamond utilities

under Windows 98/95 and NT 4.0.

After Windows 98/95 reboots, the plug-n-play feature detects your new card and

gives the message that new hardware was found. Windows 98/95 may then compile

a driver database. The Add New Hardware Wizard appears under Windows 98, and

the Update Device Driver Wizard appears under Windows 95. When you see the

Wizard, under Windows 98/95, begin with step 1 below. Windows NT 4.0 users

should go to step 2 below:

Click Cancel. Your computer will finish booting up.

After your computer boots, insert the Diamond installation CD disk into your CD-

or DVD-ROM drive. If your computer is set to “auto play,” the Diamond

installation program will start, go to step 5. If not, continue with step 3.

Double click on My Computer, then double-click on the letter of your CD- or

DVD-ROM drive. The Diamond installation CD opens.

After the Diamond installation CD opens, double-click on Start.exe. The Diamond

installation program is launched.
