3.      Installation

        If the Elsa OS/2 driver version 2.01 installed, begin with 1) and
        ignore the following statements.

        To guarantee a successfully installation, be sure to have the VGA
        driver installed. If it isn't so, it can be easy done by the setvga
        command.

        Open a OS/2 window and type in the directory c:\os2:

        setvga bootdrive:

        and follow the instruction.
        After that reboot the system and continue with 1)



       1)  Go to OS/2 window screen.

       2)  Type the following line:

           a) OS/2 System with REXX support

              a:install

           b) OS/2 System without REXX support

              a:install2 [installdrive:] [bootdrive:]

              (the 'ELSA Video Configuration' program will not be installed)

           The installation program creates a directory (Default :
           bootdrive:\WINOS232) and copies all necessary files into this
           directory. Then it starts DSPINSTL.EXE.

           You have to start with the installation from the diskette, like
           it is described above.


       3)  The "Display Driver Install" dialog box will be displayed.
           Choose the "Primary Display" option.

       4)  Under the next menu select:
             "ELSA WINNER 1000/2000 V 3.11"

       5)  Under the next menu select:
             " 640x480x256#60Hz" or
             "1024x768x256#75Hz"
           The selected resolution will be installed.

       6)  The Source Directory menu will be displayed. Set the
           source directory to the appropriate drive and proceed
           with the Install option. (Select "Change", replace "a:"
           with "." (point) for the current directory, select
           "Set" and then "Install".)

       7)  The installation may pause and display prompts to
           overwrite certain files. Please answer "yes" for each file.

           Under certain circumstances you will get a messgage that the
           video adapter isn't supported. Confirm this and continue with
           the installation.

       8)  Select "OK" in the next displayed menu.

       9)  You will be ask to install the 'ELSA Video Configuration Editor',
           answer with 'Y'es.

      10)  You will be ask to insert the 'WINGUI Disk' (ELSA Windows Driver 
           Disk), answer with 'Y'es.
	   The WINOS2 WINman will be installed.

      11) Shutdown the system and restart OS/2

      12) With the Utility 'Elsa Video Configuration' you can select the
           desired video mode.
           After the next boot, this mode is active.

4.      Notes

4.1     Update from Elsa Driver Version 2.01 :

        You don't have to use the DEINST.EXE. See under 3.


4.2     WIN-OS/2 Configuration :

        To change the standard configuration, use the Windows program WINman.
        The WINNERxx.Drv (in WINDOWS.DR@) are copied to the WINOS/2 directory 
        during the installation. You don't have to copy and expand this driver 
        from the GUI-disk.


4.3     WARP II or Version 3
        The Installation is enhanced to run under this OS2 Version.

4.4     De-Installation:

        1. change into the OS2-directory
             example: C:\OS2

        2. setvga bootdrive:
             example: SETVGA C:

        3. delete the files

           - WINOS232.DLL (bootdrive:\os2\dll)
           - BVHSVGA.DLL  (bootdrive:\os2\dll)

             example: DEL C:\OS2\DLL\WINOS232.DLL
                      DEL C:\OS2\DLL\BVHSVGA.DLL

	This steps are neccessary, because the DSPINSTL.EXE (before WARP II)
	doesn't work correct.

4.5     supported boards

        24/32Bpp mode :
          -WINNER 1000 PRO-PCI/VL
          -WINNER 2000 PRO-PCI/VL
          -WINNER 2000 ISA/EISA

***********************************************************************
6.      Caveats / Known Problems

6.1     MMPM.EXE (OS/2 Digital Video Player):

        with the WINNER 2000 ISA/EISA Release D the system hangs.

6.2     WINOS2

        With some monitors, you can't use an other refresh rate as the
        WPS. In this case you will see a black screen (or something else)
        on the WINOS/2 Session.

        WINNER 2000 ISA/EISA D-Release :
        Sometimes, it is possible that the screen is black after starting
        the WINOS2-Fullscreen-Session. If that happens, close
        the session with Alt+F4 and press enter.

        WINNER 1000/2000 PRO PCI:
        Use only the WINNERxx.DRV OS/2-Driver Disk. This files are copied 
        by the installation utility.

6.3     Lotus 1-2-3 f. OS/2 Vers. 2.0
        Lotus 1-2-3 runs only in a 8 bpp mode.
