BIOS and Flash Programming Utilities
Chapter 3 of the System Guide refers to a BIOS and flash programming utility named PHLASH.
Currently, there are two BIOS and flash programming utility packages:
PII and TD-250, and

Ethernet Network Setup and Configuration
On a system equipped with an Ethernet network adapter, note the following:
u
Network adapter driver software is preinstalled. Operating system Setup no longer
prompts you to install networking.
u
Core network software and the NetBEUI network protocol are preinstalled. If you want
to connect the system to another type of network (such as TCP/IP), you must add the
appropriate network protocol using the Network applet in the Control Panel. Reinstall the
appropriate Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack software after making such changes, as
recommended by Microsoft.
3D Pipes Screen Saver and Dual-Screen AccelSTAR II Graphics
On a system with dual-screen AccelSTAR II graphics, the 3D Pipes screen saver does not
display. If you activate this screen saver, you will only see a black screen. A driver fix for
this problem is under investigation. When available, a revised driver will be posted to the
Support pages on the World Wide Web (http://www.intergraph.com/ics/) and to the
Intergraph Bulletin Board Service (1-256-730-8786).

may cause serious operating system problems, and you may have to reinstall the
operating system. If the system becomes unusable after you have modified the
Registry, restart the system and try to use the Last Known Good configuration option to
undo the damage. See Windows NT documentation for more information on the Last
Known Good configuration option.
To enable operation of ATA PC Card flash memory:

Windows 95 Drivers on Windows 98 Systems
Intergraph Computer Systems has preinstalled some Windows 95 drivers on systems delivered
with Windows 98. These drivers are provided as backup media in InterSite Version Manager.
Be sure to make copies of these drivers, as you may need them to reinstall the operating
system and associated system software. If you reinstall these drivers, you may be notified that
you are installing an outdated driver; ignore the prompt and continue installing the driver.
The installed Windows 95 drivers were certified on Windows 98, and can be used until
vendor-supplied Windows 98 versions are available. When they have been certified for use,
Windows 98 versions of these drivers will be posted to the Support pages on the World Wide
Web (http://www.intergraph.com/ics/) and to the Intergraph Bulletin Board Service (1-256730-8786).
Booting into Safe Mode
The graphics driver software installed on your system is set for a display resolution of 1024 x
768. If you connect the system to a monitor that does not support this resolution, the system

system boots into a distorted video display, you can restart the system and, before Windows
starts, press
F8 to boot into Safe Mode.
Once the system is in Safe Mode, take the following steps:
1. Right-click the operating system desktop and select Properties.
2. In the Settings tab of the Display Properties dialog, set an appropriate display resolution
for the monitor and (if needed) an appropriate monitor type.
3. Restart the system to boot into Windows and the new display resolution.
