In the case above, the problem is with the Windows display driver which being used. Changing the Windows display driver to VGA will probably eliminate the problem. The Windows display driver may be changed using Windows Setup which is in the Main group (by default). It is a good idea to note the driver currently being used so that you can return to it when you have finished with the Icon Wizard. After starting Windows Setup, select VGA display driver (and if prompted, you may select the "current" driver). ************************************************************** "SMALL FOOTPRINT" CD-ROM OPERATION We are pleased to introduce a new feature for Micro Star CD-ROM Club members -- the "small footprint" CD. What this means to you is saving space on your hard drive. All of the DOS and Windows applications which are included on the CD-ROM will run directly from the CD without being installed to your computer's hard drive. Instead of installing all of the program files, we have licensed a special utility program which saves only the essential information to your hard drive. Here is how it works: In Windows: a file called "winstart.bat" should have been copied to your Windows directory. When you start Windows, you will see this message: "Redirecting all DOS write operations from CD-ROM drive x: to drive d:\CD.SAV\... " This will happen each time you start Windows. If you want to disable this feature, simply delete (or edit) the "winstart.bat" file in your Windows directory. If you do not see the message about redirecting DOS writes, you may already have a "winstart.bat" file. To add the utility so that the Windows programs may be run directly from the CD-ROM disc, simply EDIT your existing "winstart.bat" file to add the following line: updat_cd c:\cd.sav Save the edited file and when you re-start Windows, the utility will be loaded as Windows starts each time. You will then be able to run Windows programs directly from the CD. DOS programs: In DOS, change to your CD-ROM drive and simply enter MENU. The utility will be started in memory (using only 3Kbytes) and the menu will start. NOTE: In some cases, DOS programs may not run from the menu. This can happen because the menu is memory resident and, in some cases, may use enough program memory so that there isn't enough left for programs. If this happens, enter MENU to start the utility program and start the menu. EXIT the menu and change to the directory containing the program that you want to run. Start the program; you will still be able to run the program directly from the CD with the DOS writes redirected to the hard drive. ************************************************************* The installation program used to install Micro Star Software, "INSTALL," is licensed software provided by Knowledge Dynamics Corp., P.O.
