SYMPTOMS
========
After you install the S3-based video drivers, as outlined in the Microsoft Wine
Guide 1.0 README.TXT file, the Wine Guide Introduction screen is not displayed
correctly.
CAUSE
=====
Although the Windows Setup screen indicates that the newer S3 video drivers
(version 2.41) are installed, the actual S3 driver file S3FLAT.DRV did not get
copied to the <drive>:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory (where <drive> is
the letter of the hard disk drive that contains the WINDOWS\SYSTEM
subdirectory).
RESOLUTION
==========
Use either of the following methods to rename the S3FLAT.DRV file located in the
<drive>:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory (where <drive> is the letter of
the hard disk drive that contains the WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory).
Method 1
--------
1. At the MS-DOS command prompt, switch to the WINDOWS subdirectory on your hard
disk drive, and type "setup" (without the quotation marks).
2. From the Display field, select the S3 2.41 video driver with a resolution of
at least 256 colors.
3. Press the ENTER key twice.
4. The next screen indicates that you already have the S3 2.41 video driver
installed on the system. Press the ESC key to replace the current driver.
5. Enter the Microsoft Wine Guide 1.0 path where the S3 video drivers were
copied to the hard disk and press the ENTER key. For example, if a
subdirectory called C:\VIDEO was created and used for the location of the S3
video driver, then the path would be as follows:
C:\VIDEO
Method 2
--------
1. Double-click the Windows Setup icon located in the Main group.
2. From the Options menu, choose Change System Settings.
3. Click the Display box arrow and from the list of video drivers select "Other
Display (Requires Disk From OEM)" and choose OK.
4. Type the path to which you copied the video drivers from the Microsoft Wine
Guide 1.0 disk. For example, if a subdirectory called C:\VIDEO was created
and used for the location of the S3 video driver, then the path would be as
follows:
C:\VIDEO
5. When the display box indicates that you already have the driver on your
system, choose the New button (not the Current button).
6. Choose Restart Windows.
For more information about how to perform this task in Windows, see your Windows
printed documentation or online Help.
