DISPLAY PROBLEMS: WINDOWS 3.1x
The following problems are known to occur in Windows when using a
some display drivers with 256 colors (or greater):
All of the expected icons may not be created in the target
Program Manager group.
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.
