Avoiding Loss of Video During Boot (TD-22/25)
On a TD-22 or TD-25 with Intense 3D 100 graphics and a SCSI adapter (part number
CINF02702), the system may lose video during boot. This may occur when the Intense 3D
100 video display adapter is running video BIOS version 98, 103, or 103A. The video BIOS
version is the first to display during system boot (for example, VGA Compatible BIOS
Version 1.02.98).
To work around this problem, remove the SCSI adapter to let the system boot with video, and
then reprogram the Intense 3D 100 card’s video BIOS to version 74. This version of the
video BIOS, and instructions for reprogramming it, are available from the Support pages on
the World Wide Web (http://www.ingr.com/ics/). A fixed version of the vendor’s BIOS will
be posted here when it becomes available.
New BIOS/Flash Programming Utility (TD-225)
Your copy of the System Guide may refer to FLASHTD225 as the BIOS and flash programming

Enabling PC Card Hard Disk Operation
Intergraph Computer Systems has found a resource conflict that keeps a PC Card hard disk
(ATA or AT type) from being configured by Windows NT 4.0. To enable operation of a PC
Card hard disk in a PC Card adapter, you must edit the Windows NT Registry.
WARNING Be careful when making changes in the Registry. Any mistakes or incorrect changes
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 PC Card hard disk operation:
1. Start the Registry Editor (
2. Open the following subkey in the Registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Pcmcia
3. From the Edit menu, select Add Value.

Installing 3Com Network Adapter Driver Software
If your system includes a 3Com network adapter, the driver software is not preinstalled. The
first time Windows 95 starts, it detects the 3Com network adapter and prompts you for the
driver software. Install the driver software from the 3
as backup media in InterSite Version Manager or in the 3Com network adapter kit.
Windows 95 OSR 2.5 and the Active Desktop
If you purchased a system with Windows 95, it shipped with Windows 95 OEM Service
Release 2.5 (Microsoft Windows 95 4.00.950 C). Windows 95 OSR 2.5 integrates Internet
Explorer version 4.01 into the operating system.
When you start your system for the first time, Internet Explorer installs at the end of Windows
95 Setup. You will notice that it takes several minutes for Internet Explorer to complete its
installation. After Internet Explorer installs, Active Desktop is enabled by default.

System Power-Off After Shutdown (TD-225)
After you shut down Windows 95 on a TD-225, system power turns off. This is a normal
power management function of the system’s BIOS. However, if you disable power
management in the BIOS, system power still turns off after Windows 95 shutdown. This will
be corrected in an upcoming BIOS version. When available, you can get the new BIOS from
the Support pages on the World Wide Web (http://www.intergraph.com/ics/) or from the
Intergraph Bulletin Board Service (1-256-730-8786).
Sound Distortion in MS-DOS Games (TD-25)
On a TD-25 with Intense 3D 100 graphics and an Ensoniq AudioPCI sound card, sound may
appear distorted when playing MS-DOS-based games in Windows 95. Intergraph Computer
Systems is investigating this issue, and will post more information on the Support pages of its
World Wide Web site as it becomes available.
Hot-Docking a PC Card Device
Windows 95 lets you add a PC Card device to a system while it is running; this is called “hot
docking” the device. You may encounter a problem when attempting to hot dock a PC Card
device to your system with the following operating system version and hardware:
u
Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2.1 or later
u
SCM SwapBox PC Card adapter
u
Intense 3D 100 video display adapter
u
Ensoniq sound card (using the version 1.15 driver software from the Ensoniq CD-ROM)
When you attempt to hot dock a PC Card device to a system in this configuration, the PC Card
device will not function. For example, a PC Card hard disk device will not be assigned a drive
letter by Windows 95, or a modem card will not be able to access the required
communications port.
To use a PC Card device with a system in the described configuration, shut down the system,
insert the PC Card device in the PC Card adapter, and then restart the system. Once the
system has restarted, you can remove and reinsert the PC Card device as needed.
Default Ensoniq Mixer Settings
If you need to return the Ensoniq mixer software to its default settings (for example, after
reinstalling Windows 95), refer to the following illustration:

Use these default mixer settings as a starting point to ensure proper system audio operation.
You can then change the settings as needed to meet your recording and playback needs. See
the online Ensoniq documentation (on the Ensoniq CD-ROM) for more information.
Installing the Intel PRO/100B EtherExpress Driver
Before installing the Intel PRO/100B EtherExpress network adapter driver on a system with
Windows 95, be sure to read the instructions in the Intel documentation delivered with the
adapter. If the driver is not installed on the system, Windows 95 detects the network adapter
and prompts you to install the driver.
NOTE When installing the driver on a Windows 95 OSR 2.5 system, a notice may display that the
installation program wants to install files that are older than those on the system. Follow the
recommendation to keep the existing files.

While installing the driver, you are asked to insert Windows 95 Disk 1. The driver’s Setup
program is looking for the driver diskette delivered with the adapter. Make sure the diskette is
in the floppy disk drive, type the path to the diskette (typically a:\), and then click OK.
While installing the driver, you are asked to insert Windows 95 Disk 2. The driver’s Setup
program is looking for the Windows 95 Setup files. Do one of the following:
u
If you have a Windows 95 CD-ROM, insert the disc in the CD-ROM drive, type the path
to the Windows 95 files on the disc (typically d:\win95), and then click OK.
u
