Note

Only a few, old software

packages require you to use the

SETVGA program.

Installing the utility

Follow these steps to install SETVGA:

1.

Run the VGA Driver Setup program on your Utility 1
diskette to copy the SETVGA utility to your hard disk.

From the Main Menu, select

Utility programs.

Then select SETVGA

from the submenu. See “Using the

VGA Driver Setup Program” on page A-4 for instructions.

When Setup asks for the name of the drive and directory to
contain the utility file, you can either press

Enter

to use the

default directory or change the pathname to your utility

directory, if you already have one.

2.

After you have copied the SETVGA utility to your hard
disk, it is best to include the pathname for SETVGA and
other utilities in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. See the next

section for instructions.

Adding SETVGA to the AUTOEXEC.BAT file

For

convenience in accessing SETVGA, you can include a

pathname in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file. Follow these steps:

1.

At the MS-DOS command prompt in the root directory,

type the following and press

Enter:

COPY AUTOEXEC.BAT+CON AUTOEXEC.BAT

2.

To set the path for the SETVGA utility, type the following

and press

Enter:

PATH

C:\pathname\

A-60
