After installing the drivers
In this chapter you will find descriptions of
쎲
where you can find the software for operating your ELSA graphics board,
쎲
the performance characteristics of your graphics board, and
쎲
the most effective tuning for the combination of monitor and ELSA
graphics board.
Software installation from the CD
The ELSA graphics board is normally supplied with software on a CD-ROM.
You will find all the utilities described in this manual on the Gladiac CD—
unless they are a component of the operating system.
Once you have successfully completed the steps described in the Installation
Guide, your graphics board is integrated into your computer system with the
installed ELSA driver. You are now likely to be familiar with the program
ELSA CD setup. If the autostart function for your CD-ROM drive under
Windows has been switched off, the setup program on the Gladiac CD will
not start automatically. It can be found and started manually from the root
directory of the CD and is called SETUP.EXE.
The greater part of the installation is automated; ELSA setup detects the
installed operating system and ELSA graphics board(s). First of all select the
language for the installation and then the components you wish to install.
