Using the Setup Wizard

Using the Monitor Wizard
The Monitor Wizard

If  your monitor is not on the list of standard Monitor types for Windows 95, you can use the Monitor Wizard to help you determine the capabilities of your monitor.  To use the Monitor Wizard, you will want to bring up the list of monitor manufacturers and models, and then select the  “(User Defined monitor types)” Manufacturer and the  “User defined monitor(InControl Tools 95)”  model.

The results of the tests run by the Monitor Wizard are used by InControl Tools for dynamic Desktop and Viewport switching features.

Using the Wizard

If you have your monitor manual handy, you can use it to select the recommended refresh rates while Monitor Wizard runs. We recommend that you only choose "Yes" to the Wizard's inquiries when they match the settings recommended by your monitor manual.

Choosing a test series

The Monitor Wizard offers three ways to test your monitor:

Minimal automatically runs a series of tests in all modes at a minimal refresh rate of 60Hz. This selection is appropriate for low-end monitors or if previous attempts at determining capabilities using the Full or Custom modes failed.

Full automatically runs a series of tests in all modes and at all available refresh rates. This selection is appropriate for high-end monitors that have a wide range of known capabilities.

Custom lets you choose what modes and refresh rates to test. This selection is appropriate when your monitor manual states the exact capabilities and limits for your display.

After choosing a test series type, the Monitor Wizard moves to a final pre-testing screen where existing capabilities (from previous tests) are listed.

If you chose Custom testing, you can use check boxes to select modes and refresh rates to test, or clear any existing test modes before clicking the Begin Testing button.

If you chose Minimal or Full testing and no existing capabilities are listed, Begin Testing proceeds to run the complete test as ordered. If existing capabilities are listed, you can either clear them all and proceed with full retesting by clicking the Begin Testing button, or retest existing capabilities.

As each test setting is displayed, a brief message appears to ask if the current display appears normal. If it does (or if you know from your manual that your monitor supports the setting), click Yes. If the display is abnormal or unstable in any way, or if you know from your manual that your monitor does not support the setting, either click No or wait a few seconds for the screen to readjust.

When Monitor Wizard completes the tests, the confirmed capabilities are listed.

After running the Monitor Wizard, we recommend that you restart your computer to confirm that the confirmed default (optimal) mode works. You should then use InControl Tools' Display and Viewport switching features to check other available combinations.

Note:	If you change monitors and your new monitor is not on the list of Windows95 standard displays (that is, if it isn't listed in the "Change Display Type" list in the Display Properties dialog), you can rerun the Monitor Wizard to set up the new monitor to work with InControl Tools. The wizard is stored in your Diamond/InControl Tools 95 installation directory. Its file name is DMMONWIZ.EXE.

Quick start instructions

When you install InControl Tools 95, a tray icon is added to your Windows95 desktop and several new options are added to your Display Properties dialog.

Many of the new features available to you are activated immediately after installing InControl Tools and restarting Windows. You can then modify or toggle any feature on or off, either through the Display Properties dialog or directly from your enhanced desktop (right button) menu.

To start using InControl Tools immediately after installation and restart:

Click your right mouse button on the Windows desktop. Your enhanced desktop menu appears. Note that this is the same Windows95 "right-click" menu that normally appears, but with several new items listed above the standard items. These new items are your InControl Tools enhancements. Check all features and submenus to review the default settings.

Click your left mouse button on the Windows desktop. Your popup start menu appears. Note that this is the same menu that appears when you click the Start menu. Now, however, it's also available as a "floating" popup menu.

Click here or click the button at the top of this topic to open the Display Properties dialog. If you're familiar with the dialog, you'll note that it now contains new property sheets ("tabs"). The new sheets--Popup Menus, Shortcuts and Information--are added by InControl Tools. Also note that the Settings property sheet contains advanced display area and viewport area options.

You're now ready to use or customize all of these new features (such as adding hot key shortcuts).

Solutions

After installing InControl Tools and Windows restarts, Windows tells me that I should run a check for new hardware. But I didn't change my hardware, so why does it ask?

InControl Tools installs a new Windows95 display driver. In most cases, the new driver is part of a new display card installation package. In either case, Windows senses a change in the display environment, and asks you if you want to check for new hardware.

If you did install a new card when you installed InControl Tools, you should follow the hardware-check procedure when the query appears. If you only installed or reinstalled the InControl Tools software, you don't have to do the hardware check.

Note: If you had a higher resolution display setup before installing the software, you will probably want to restore your screen to its previous settings when Windows restarts (it restarts to the default VGA 640 X 480, 16-color state). To do that, open go to your Control Panel window, click on the Display applet to open the Display Properties dialog, choose the Settings tab, and make your selections.

I changed display cards, installed the new driver for the new card, and now InControl Tools doesn't work. Why?

InControl Tools works only with certain Windows95-compatible Diamond drivers. If you install an unsupported driver, your Display Properties dialog in Control Panel reverts to its default state and all InControl Tools features are removed.

Tip: If you use an Internet service provider, you can use Windows95's AutoDial feature to open access to your dial-up service.


Connecting to the Internet from Help

Use the following troubleshooting checklist if you click on one of our Help-to-Internet links and the link fails or your browser doesn't appear.

Is your Internet connection running right now?

Make sure your company or personal Internet service is online right now. Open your web browser and type www.diamond.com into the URL locator at the top. If you get "URL not found" error message (or a message to that effect), then you're probably not online. If that's the case, check with your system administrator or connect to your Internet service provider and try again.

Is Microsoft Internet Explorer installed?

Windows95 offers a special feature that allows instant command-line access to most types of Internet services, such as pages on the World Wide Web (WWW), FTP (File Transfer Protocol) sites and even email. We use this feature to create the Help links that connect you to the Internet.

The feature is only available, however, if certain library files and registry settings are present. These files and settings are, at this writing, only installed in full by the Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser. You don't actually have to use the Internet Explorer as your primary web browser, but it must be installed to enable command-line Internet access.

Internet Explorer is part of the Internet package that is installed with Microsoft Plus! for Windows95. It is also available directly from Microsoft as a standalone browser. You can get information about the Explorer and download the most recent version of it from Microsoft's home page at www.microsoft.com. It is also available at other sites on the Internet and from online services such as CompuServe and America Online.

Is the HTM extension associated with a browser?

A couple of our Help-to-Internet links launch your browser directly via an association with the HTM file type. For information on checking or creating a file type association, click here or search the WINDOWS.HLP file under the keyphrase "file types".
