This is to ensure that the Plug&Play recognition of Windows 2000 is working properly. Copy all listed driver files to a formatted disk (or a temporary directory). Uninstall all display adapter devices under CONTROL PANEL/SYSTEM/HARDWARE/DEVICE MANAGER/DISPLAY ADAPTERS. Remove your floppy disk and reboot your system. 2.2 Installation Windows 2000 uses Plug&Play functions to recognize your display adapter. Here is how: 1. Device recognized. The "Found New Hardware" wizard will guide you. - click "Next" - choose option "Display a list of the known drivers ..." - click "Next" - choose "Display Adapters" - click "Next" - click "Have Disk..." - choose the directory from (2.1) - click "Ok" - choose entry "ELSA GLoria II - click "Next" - click "Next" - click "Yes". Now the driver will be installed. - click "Finish. 2. The installtion of the display driver is finished now. Remove your floppy disk and reboot your system now. Note: Depending on your monitor at the next reboot Plug&Play will recognize and install a monitor device. 2.3 Verification Open CONTROL PANEL/DISPLAY/SETTINGS. Verify that you can read "Plug and Play Monitor on ELSA GLoria II". You should now be able to use a resolution higher than 800x600. 2.4 Adjusting Refresh Frequencies Click "Advanced" Button on Display Properties Page. Go to Monitor Properties Page and use the DropDown-List "Refresh Frequency". 2.5. Display Driver Update with w2ksetup.exe For easy driver update you can use w2ksetup.exe simply by doubleclicking on it in Windows Explorer. After installation the driver will be started automatically. If this is not possible you will be asked to restart your computer. If the driver cannot be installed a messagebox will be displayed. 2.5.1. Commandline Parameters You can also control w2ksetup by commandline options. The following options are available: SILENT - No dialog boxes are displayed during (un) installation which would require user interaction. REBOOT - After (un)installation the system will be automatically rebooted if necessary. UNINSTALL - All ELSA graphics board drivers will be uninstalled. A dialog box informs at the end if a restart is required. SERVICE - Allows the user to specify the service to uninstall (e.g. EGLIIM). Without this option all ELSA graphics drivers will be uninstalled. This parameter has no influence on installation. Examples: Installation: - W2KSetup.exe SILENT REBOOT Installs the ELSA driver for Windows 2000 without user interaction. If necessary, the system will be rebooted automatically. Otherwise the driver will be started directly. Uninstallation: - W2KSetup.exe UNINSTALL SILENT REBOOT SERVICE EGLIIM Uninstalls the ELSA display driver for a GLoria II. If necessary, the system will be rebooted. Note: Be careful when using the manual uninstallation. Wrong usage could lead to an unstable system. 2.5.2. Exitcodes (for automated installation): The following exitcodes are returned by w2ksetup: -1 : Something went wrong without the driver being installed. (e.g. no inf-file found) 0 : (Un)Installation failed. Possible cause: Driver does not match the graphics board. 1 : Driver was (un)installed successfully. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 Additional Configuration Options 3.1 Additional Tools 3.1.1 ELSA Application Settings The ELSA Application Settings allow you to configure the 3D options of your ELSA GLoria graphics board. You will find this tool as a tab in the display properties. You also will find a detailed description by clicking the Help key. 3.1.2 ELSA Info ELSA Info offers a quick view of all relevant information about your hard- and software configuration. First of all, this is a diagnostic tool, which should help you in solving configuration problems of your graphics system. You can redirect all shown information to file or printer. The generated output will be helpful in getting quick and efficient support from ELSA. 3.1.3 ELSA Settings The ELSA Settings utility is not shipped with this driver. Read the Known Bugs section for a workaround. 3.2 Stereo function This driver provides Stereo functionality in combination with stereo shutterglasses and a stereo capable application. To activate the stereo function select a stereo profile in the ELSA Application settings tab. You may also mark the stereo checkbox in ELSA Application Settings under "Advanced". You will find detailed help about creating new Application Settings profiles in the Application Settings helpfile. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 4 Known Bugs Currently the ELSA Settings utility isn't supported by the driver. To create new monitor timings we included a command line utility named GLIIMODE.exe to the package. It can be found in the Windows folder in the ELSAUTIL subdirectory. Start the program with "GLIIMODE /?" for more information. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 Troubleshooting
