4.0 Driver installation instructions
Click Start, then Settings, then Control Panel. Start the "Display"
applet program. Select the "Settings" page, push the "Change Display
Type" button. Push the "Change" button in the "Adapter Type" area. Push
the "Have Disk" button and press "OK". Specify the path to the new
drivers' .inf file and press the <ENTER> key:
Example 1: Insert the drivers disk in the A: floppy drive,
and enter A:\.
Example 2: Type in the name of the directory where you
copied the drivers, either on your local hard
drive or on a network shared drive.
Example 3: If you're not sure exactly where the drivers
are, choose the "Browse..." button and find them.
The "Select Device" dialog box will appear. Select the adapter that
corresponds to the one you installed in your machine and click OK.
Windows will copy the display drivers to the proper directories on your
system. Continue choosing Close until asked to restart your machine from
the "Systems Settings Change" dialog box. After the system has
restarted, you can go back into the Display applet and select alternate
screen resolutions, color depths and related features.
