**This program has FAILED to detect a resident VESA Video Driver.**
Because Links 386 CD requires a VESA driver in order to operate,
it is imperative one is installed and operating properly. Follow
the instructions below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing and Testing Your Vesa Video Driver
A VESA Video driver that supports a 640x480 resolutions is
required for LINKS 386 CD. For most new systems, the driver is built
on the card and the game will "just work".
If you do require a driver to operate, one is usually included
with your video card. Whenever possible we would encourage you
to use this driver.
Should you require a driver, and one is not supplied by your video
card manufacture, please follow the following instructions.
1) UNIVBE51 VIDEO DRIVER
The UNIVESA VIDEO DRIVER is a Shareware driver that works
with a wide variety of video cards and requires little user
intervention for installation. Because this is a share-
ware product, it will expire after 21 days.
Installation:
Windows 95: Select RUN from the Start Menu and type:
D:\UNIVBE51\INSTALL (where D is the drive letter of the CD
ROM). Follow the instructions given.
DOS: From the DOS Prompt type: D:\UNIVBE51\INSTALL (where
D is the drive letter of the CD ROM). Follow the
instructions given on the screen.
2) Another option we have included is SETVESA. This program
will attempt to determine your video card, then install a
driver for it. This program requires more user intervention
but will assure the correct driver for the video card.
This program should not be run from Windows 95. To run
SETVESA, shutdown Windows 95 by selecting SHUTDOWN from the
Start Menu and select RESTART THE COMPUTER IN MS-DOS MODE.
DOS: In DOS type: D:\SETVESA (where D is the drive letter
of your CD ROM). Once the program begins, you will see
several options, choose AUTOMATIC METHOD if you are a novice
user, or select MANUAL METHOD if you understand how to
edit files and load drivers.
