INSTALLATION:
============

Before proceeding through  the  installation steps, configure Windows 3.1
to use the Microsoft 8514/a driver.

1)  Exit Windows (not a DOS box).

2)  Change to your Windows directory (CD).

3)  Place the ATI Windows 3.1 Display Driver Disk into drive A:. Drive B:
    may be used but is not recommended. The Windows 3.1 Setup program may
    behave inconsistently when using drive B:.

4)  Type "SETUP" at the DOS prompt.

5)  Select Display - "Other (Requires disk provided by a hardware manufact.."

6)  Select the desired screen resolution and press Enter. Setup will copy
    files from the diskette into your Windows directories.

    Setup may ask if you  wish  to  KEEP or REPLACE the specified driver.
    Choose REPLACE by pressing ESC. This  choice  will appear if you have
    installed an older ATI driver  with  the  same  file name previously.
    If you are  presented  with  this  choice  AFTER this installation is
    completed  (by  choosing  a  different  ATI  driver selection later),
    choose KEEP by pressing ENTER.

    Setup may ask for some  Windows  diskettes.  In  this case, enter the
    drive that contains the ATI driver disk  (i.e. A:) so Setup continues
    to use this disk.

    An error message may appear  indicating  that there is a problem with
    drive A: during the file  copying  process  (such as VGALOGO.LGO). If
    this occurs, press ESC  twice  (after  each error box appearance) and
    enter the drive  that  contains  the  ATI  driver  disk when asked by
    Setup.

7)  When  Setup  is  complete,  type  "WIN" at the MS-DOS prompt to start
    Windows 3.1.
