Before You Begin
To facilitate the installation of the enhanced display drivers and utility software, read
the instructions in this chapter carefully. The drivers for the AIMB-223 are located on
the software installation CD. The driver in the folder of the driver CD will guide and
link you to the utilities and drivers under a Windows system. Updates are provided
via Service Packs from Microsoft*.
Before you begin, it is important to note that most display drivers need to have the
relevant software application already installed in the system prior to installing the
enhanced display drivers. In addition, many of the installation procedures assume
that you are familiar with both the relevant software applications and operating sys-
tem commands. Review the relevant operating system commands and the pertinent
sections of your application software’s user manual before performing the installa-
tion.
