Microsoft Windows 3.1
Before Upgrading From a Previous Release
Before installing the new drivers you should use Windows Setup to select the VGA
or SVGA video driver so that when you install the new drivers, there is no chance of
overwriting the driver that Windows is using to control your screen. Next go to the
system directory, and find a file that is named OEM?.INF where the question mark
is a number. There may be more than one of these. These files are the different
OEMSETUP.INF files that have been used to configure Windows for different
devices. Using a text editor, such as Notepad or Edit, look at them until you find the
one that is for the previous version of the Cirrus Logic video drivers and delete it.
This is not completely necessary, but if you don't delete old files the drop down box
for Setup soon becomes very cluttered with different versions of the same files. Also,
in many cases the old files have been overwritten by newer ones, so no longer exist
anyway.
Installing Windows 3.1 Display Drivers
If you haven't already installed the WINMODE utility program, these instructions
will install a single driver for a single resolution. If you want to be able to easily
switch between different resolutions, you should install WINMODE before this
procedure.
To install the Windows 3.1 drivers from the DOS prompt, proceed as follows:
1. Check that Windows 3.1 is already installed on your computer.
2. From your Windows directory, at the DOS prompt, type SETUP to run the
Windows SETUP.EXE program. Follow the instructions on the screen. When
you come to the screen which lists the hardware and software components such
as display adapter (e.g. VGA, CGA, etc.), keyboard type, mouse type, etc., go to
the Display selection by using cursor keys to move the highlighted bar and press
[Enter].
3. From the next menu listing of display options, scroll to the bottom of the list,
and highlight the following text:
Other (Requires disk provided by a hardware manufacturer)
Press [Enter], and when prompted, insert the Windows Display Driver
diskette into drive A:\ or B:\ and type A:\ or B:\[Enter].
