======================================== MultiSound Pinnacle/Fiji Drivers v. 3.02 ======================================== 1. Installation --------------- 1.0. General ~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you have not installed any Pro Series drivers before, you can skip the instructions for cleaning up the old drivers and go right to the section that describes the installation of the new drivers. If you have an older version of the drivers already installed on your system you need to follow the appropriate uninstall procedure to prepare your system for the update. Once you have installed the drivers, be sure to read the Release Notes located in the TBS Pro Audio program group for additional information on the Pro Series cards. If any problems were encountered during or after installing the drivers, refer to the Testing and Troubleshooting document also located in the TBS Pro Audio program group. 1.1. Windows 3.1 users ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you have an old installation of Windows 3.1 drivers for the Pro Series cards use the following procedure to cleanup your system. To uninstall old drivers in Windows 3.x: 1. Determine the current resource settings of the card, especially the upper memory block it uses. 2. Open the Control Panel, double-click Drivers, highlight Turtle Beach MIDI, WAV, AUX and press the Remove button. 3. If you had a Pinnacle installed, repeat step 2 for the Wavefront MIDI driver. 4. Minimize the TBS Pro Audio program group in the Program Manager, highlight it, and select Delete from the File menu. 5. From the File menu, select Run. In the dialog box, enter SYSEDIT, and click OK. The System Configuration Editor opens. a) In the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, delete the line containing PINCFG.EXE. b) In the CONFIG.SYS file, if an upper memory manager such as EMM386.EXE was loaded, there will be an exclude switch that pertains to the upper memory block used by the card, such as NOEMS X=D000-D7FF. Remove this exclude switch (NOEMS X=D000-D7FF), NOT the memory manager. c) In the SYSTEM.INI file, under the [386Enh] section will be an EMMExclude statement that refers to the upper memory block used by the card. Delete this line. 6. Exit Windows and remove the TBS Pro Audio directory with all its subdirectories. An easy way to do this is to enter the following commands at the DOS prompt: deltree C:\tbeach\pinnacle (for an old Pinnacle install) deltree C:\tbeach\fiji (for an old Fiji install) deltree C:\tbspros (for a new 3.x install) To install new drivers in Windows 3.x: 1. Start Windows 3.1. 2. Run SETUP.EXE from the driver disk. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen. 1.2.
