A. Using Windows Utility TINSTALL  
---------------------------------  



INSTALLATION PROCEDURE  
=======================  

The Graphic Installation Interface lets you easily install the Trident  
Windows drivers and the Trident Power Management program from within Windows 
by following these steps:  
  
  
1. Ensure that MS Windows 3.1 is up and running properly, using the standard 
   VGA driver.  
  
2. Select the MAIN group in Program Manager.  
  
3. Click on FILE or press ALT + F. 

4. Press R to get to the command line.

5. Type in A:\WIN\TINSTALL and then press ENTER.
     
6. A menu will appear, presenting a choice of Express or Custom Installation.
   
    Express Installation is quick and decision free. Display drivers will be 
    copied into the TRI9000.VGA directory and Utility files will be copied into 
    the TRIDENT.UTL directory. Once all files are copied, a program group 
    called DISPLAY DRIVER AND UTILITIES will be created.  
  
    Custom Installation allows control over where files are stored and where 
    icons are created. When running Custom Installation, the first dialog box 
    that comes up shows the default directory to which the display drivers 
    will be copied to. This directory name can be changed by clicking on the 
    default name, deleting it and then typing in the desired directory. The 
    dialogue box also displays the available space on the Hard Disk as well as 
    the size of the total copy of files. 
    
    Once the desired directory name is selected, the installation procedure is 
    continued by clicking on box labeled CONTINUE, or by pressing ENTER. The 
    second dialog box displays a summary of where files are stored. Upon 
    selecting CONTINUE, the program will proceed to copy the drivers and 
    utilities files. When all files are copied, the program will present a 
    choice of program groups where the icons will be created. Selection can be 
    made from pre-existing groups (e.g. main, applications, accessories etc.), 
    or the option is there to create a new group name.  
  
7. When all necessary files are copied and a group name is selected, the Tinstall program will    create three icons :  
  
	a. Screen Control       (Used to configure display drivers)  
	b. UNinstall            (Used to delete the installed TRIDENT drivers)  
  
  
  
a. SCREEN CONTROL  
=================  
  
The screen control program supports the following options :  
  
i)      Select a Display Driver.  
ii)     Select resolution and number of colors.  
  
  
To select a Display Driver, run the Screen Control program by double-clicking 
on the Screen Control icon with the mouse, or high light the icon and press 
ENTER. A window called Display Driver Setup will appear on the screen. This 
screen displays a list of available Display Drivers, the directory in which 
they are installed, date and time of last installation, and if in current use 
or not. Select the desired Display Driver and then click on SELECT. This will 
open the next screen on the Display Driver Setup, which is used to configure 
the Windows display for resolution, refresh rate, the number of colors and 
font size. Selection of these parameters are made by clicking on the 
respective values. To implement the selection, click on OK.  
  
  
b. UNinstall  
============  
  
The UNinstall program enables the user to delete specific drivers or an entire
driver set. To run the UNinstall program, simply double click on the icon or 
high light the icon and press  ENTER. The first screen will show a list of the 
available display driver sets. To delete the entire set, click on the driver 
set so that it is hi-lighted, then click on the delete button. 
To delete a specific driver within a set, select the set, then click on ENTER. 
A dialogue box showing a list of the drivers will then open on the screen. 
Select the driver to be deleted by clicking on it, and then click on the 
DELETE box to remove it.  
  
  
  
B. Selecting a Driver Through Windows SETUP

in your Windows Program Manager, you can select a high-resolution driver 
with through the MS Windows SETUP :   
  
1. Ensure that MS Windows 3.1 is running properly.  
  
2. Exit Windows, and at the C prompt, change directory to WINDOWS by typing 
   in CD \WINDOWS  
  
3. At the DOS prompt, type SETUP.  
  
4. Use the arrow key to high light the DISPLAY field and then press ENTER.

   ensuring that the correct drive is specified on the screen.

   the screen, and the display driver will be installed.
