Windows 98 and
System Setup
Your System Setup document may contain Windows 95 information. If your system was delivered
with Windows 98, refer to the following items for information that replaces or supplements the
Windows 95 information in the System Guide.
Windows 95 Drivers
Intergraph Computer Systems has preinstalled some Windows 95 drivers on systems delivered
with Windows 98. These drivers are provided as backup media in InterSite Version Manager.
Make copies of these drivers, as you may need them to reinstall the operating system and
associated system software.
The installed Windows 95 drivers were certified on Windows 98, and can be used until vendor-
supplied Windows 98 versions are available. When they have been certified for use, Windows 98
versions of these drivers will be posted to the Support pages on the World Wide Web
(http://www.intergraph.com/ics/) and to the Intergraph Bulletin Board Service
(1-256-730-8786).
Booting into Safe Mode
The graphics driver software installed on your system is set for a display resolution of 1024 x 768.
If you connect the system to a monitor that does not support this resolution, the system may boot
into Safe Mode and the standard VGA display resolution of 640 x 480. If the system boots into a
distorted video display, you can restart the system and, before Windows starts, press
F
8 to boot
into Safe Mode.
Once the system is in Safe Mode, right-click the operating system desktop and select Properties.
Click the Settings tab, and set an appropriate display resolution for the monitor and (if needed) and
appropriate monitor type. Then restart the system.
Millennium II Driver and MGA Powerdesk
On a Windows 98 system with Millennium II graphics, the driver software and MGA Powerdesk
software is preinstalled, and is available as backup media in InterSite Version Manager (on
multiple diskettes). If you reinstall Windows 98, reinstall the Millennium II driver:

2.
After Windows 98 Setup completes, insert disk 1 of the Millennium II Windows 95 driver
(
