                     Hercules Graphite (tm)
                 Windows Display Driver Diskette



 
  First Time Installation of 
  Hercules Graphite Windows 3.1 Drivers 
  -------------------------------------
  If you are installing Hercules Graphite Windows 3.1 drivers the
  first time, you should NOT use Windows' SETUP program. You MUST
  use Graphite's Install program.

  After the installation, you must then run Windows' SETUP 
  program to inform Windows about the Graphite drivers:

  1) Go to your Windows directory, and type SETUP.

  2) Pick "Display:", then press [Enter].

  3) Pick the Hercules Graphite entry from list,
     then press [Enter].

  4) Press [Enter] key to "Accept the configuration shown above."

  5) IMPORTANT: If Windows presents a screen of currently 
     installed drivers, press [Enter] key to "Keep Driver."

  Each time that you run Windows' Setup and select the Graphite
  driver, Windows will boot up in 640 x 480, 256 color mode. Use
  the Picture Window utility to select a higher resolution or a
  different color depth.




  Installing the Windows Drivers with Windows on a Network 
  --------------------------------------------------------
  When you are prompted for the Windows directory name during
  the installation process, make sure you enter the name of
  the local Windows directory (the one on your own hard disk),
  as opposed to the network Windows directory. You should also
  always run Windows' SETUP in your local Windows directory.




  Updating the Windows Drivers from a Previous Version
  ----------------------------------------------------
  Case 1) If you have a complete Graphite Windows 3.1 drivers
          diskette.

   Method 1:
    You can use the Graphite Install program to re-install the
    drivers. The install program is located in your Graphite
    operating software directory (e.g. C:\HERCULES) and can 
    be invoked by typing "HERCULES" [Enter] if that 
    directory is in your PATH.

   Method 2:
    You can use UPWIN.BAT included in your Graphite Windows
    diskette. Log to the drive containing the disk and type:

        UPWIN [source drive:] [Windows directory]
        (e.g. UPWIN  A:  C:\WINDOWS)

  Case 2) If you have the uncompressed Windows driver files,
          you can replace the old ones by copying these into
          the Windows' \SYSTEM subdirectory.

  No matter which case you choose to update the files, you must 
  re-run the Windows' SETUP program after updating the drivers.
