CHAPTER 6. MICROSOFT WINDOWS 3.x
Topics covered in this section include Windows 3.x driver installation, reconfiguring Windows 3.x,
and Display Power Manager for Windows 3.x, a mechanism to control the amount of power used by
a computer's monitor.
WINDOWS 3.x INSTALLATION
The Windows 3.x driver installation utility copies all of the graphics driver and utility files to your hard
disk. It also allows you to:
•
configure your graphics system for Windows 3.x
•
set the monitor refresh rates
•
change the monitor resolution
•
specify the number of available colors
•
select large or normal size fonts
•
configure font cache size
After new options have been selected, you can either restart Windows, in which case the new
configuration will take effect immediately, or you can continue working in the current resolution, in
which case the new resolution will take effect the next time Windows is started. In some
configurations the AUTOEXEC.BAT file needs to be modified to make the changes permanent.
Using Install
To run the installation program:
1. Start Windows 3.x.
2. Set Windows Display to VGA.
3. Insert the floppy labeled "Windows 3.x Display Drivers and Utilities" into your floppy disk drive.
4. From the Windows Program Manager select Run from the File menu.
5. Type the letter of the floppy drive that the driver diskette is in, followed by the word install. For
instance, if the driver disk is in drive A:, type A:\INSTALL.EXE.
6. Click on the OK button.
7. In the first dialog box that is displayed, you can set the path where you would like the utility
programs to be installed.
•
If you want to use the default directory, click on Continue.
•
To change to another directory, you can either type the path name or you can click on the down
arrow and select a directory for installation. The drop down box works just like the Directory
field in a file open dialog box. After you select the directory, press the Continue button.
A new VGAUtil group is created in the Windows program manager. It contains the WinMode
configuration utility icon. This utility can be used to set up resolutions, monitor types and other
options.
