Installation Procedure for the Avance Logic Software Driver for Windows 95
Applications
1. Before installing the Avance Logic driver verify that your display type
is Standard Display Adapter(VGA). If it is not, select this display type
and restart Windows 95.
2. Insert the ALG2302-ALG1301 Driver for Windows 95 Applications diskette
into diskette drive A: (or B:) and click on Start\Run. Then enter
A:\WIN95\win95ul.exe and click on OK.
3. Installation will begin. During the installation a screen will be presented
from which you select a refresh rate that your monitor can support.
After selecting the refresh rate, click on File\Save and then on Exit. The
information will be saved in your Autoexec.bat file so that the next time
you start your machine, the screen refresh rate will be the one that you
selected.
Note: You should select a refresh rate higher than 60 Hz for a higher
memory bandwidth.
4. When the installation completes, click on the Display\Settings folder and
then click on Change Display Type. In the Adapter Type box, click on
Change. A screen will be presented with Avance Logic 2302 PCI highlighted.
Click on OK to close the diaglog box. If a screen is presented showing
only the standard VGA option, click on Show All Devices located in the
bottom left of the screen, select Avance Logic and Avance Logic PCI, and
then click on OK.
5. Select the color and the resolution settings that you want and then click
on Apply to restart Windows 95.
6. Avance Logic provides an MPEG file Video-CD player utility for playing
Video-CD movies. The file (ALPLAYER.EXE) should be located in the ALGUL95
subdirectory. You can use Start\Run to run this utility or you can setup a
new folder.
Due to the Windows 95 Plug and Play feature, the CD-i format is not
recognized and therefore the Video CD CD-i format is not supported.
7. Currently, only MPEG playback in the 256 colors mode is supported.
Support for the 64K colors mode will be added in the near future.
