Using these PowerGraph Windows 3.1 drivers with Windows 3.0:
Since Windows 3.0 does not implement the OEMSETUP.INF style of
driver disk as well as Windows 3.1 you will have some problems
using these drivers with Windows 3.0 unless you take the
following information into consideration:
1. Windows 3.0 will not keep the information in the OEMSETUP.INF
like Windows 3.1 does. This means that each time you want to
change resolutions you will have to use this setup disk. To
speed things up if you intend to switch resolutions quite
often, you can copy the contents of this disk to a directory
on your hard disk and then in Windows 3.0 SETUP you can point
to this directory after you select the "OTHER Disk" option.
2. It is possible to edit the Windows 3.0 SETUP.INF file and add
in the information contained in the OEMSETUP.INF file that is
on our drivers disk. You would have to add in the lines from
the appropriate sections in the OEMSETUP.INF to the correct
sections in the SETUP.INF. This is for advanced Windows users
only -- if you've never tried this before then be sure you
back everything up before attempting it. If you do this then
it will eliminate the need to keep a seperate subdirectory
with our drivers in it as described in note #1 above.
3. These drivers are aimed more at Windows 3.1 rather than 3.0.
We have attempted to test them thoroughly with both versions of
the software, but there may be conflicts with 3.0 that we did
not discover. If it is a problem that occurs in 3.0 and not in
3.1 then little will be done to change the drivers. We highly
recommend that if you're using these drivers that you upgrade
from Windows 3.0 to 3.1 -- there are definite speed advantages
in the new Windows and overall it is a better environment.
