installation, there is no chance of overwriting the driver that
Windows uses to control the display.
Change to the system directory, and find a file named OEM?.INF
where the question mark is a number. There may be more than one
of these files. The question marked files are 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 the file names until you find the file for the previous version
of the Cirrus Logic video driver. Delete the file. This is not
absolutely necessary, but if you don’t delete old files, the drop down
box for Setup soon becomes cluttered with different versions of the
same files. In many cases, the old files may have been overwritten
by newer ones and no longer exist.
Installing Windows 3.1 Display Drivers
If you haven’t already installed WINMODE, these instructions will
help you install a single driver for a single resolution. If you want to
be able to easily switch between different resolutions, install
WINMODE before following 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 the Windows directory, at the DOS prompt, type SETUP
to run the Windows SETUP.EXE program. Follow the instructions
on the screen. When you see the screen listing hardware and
software components (such as the display adapter, keyboard type,
mouse type, etc.), go to the Display selection by using cursor keys
to move the highlighted bar. Then press [Enter].
3. The next menu lists 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 the prompt displays, insert the Windows
Display Driver diskette into drive ‘A’ or ‘B’ and type ‘A:\’ or ‘B:\.’
Then press [Enter].
4. You will see a list of drivers and their associated resolutions,
such as:
CIRRUS 624X V1.0, 1280X1024X16
CIRRUS 624X V1.0, 1024X768X16
CIRRUS 624X V1.0, 640X480X16
