information that replaces or supplements the Windows 95 information in the System Guide.
System Setup
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you are installing an outdated driver; ignore the prompt and continue installing the driver.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
may boot into Safe Mode and the standard VGA display resolution of 640 x 480. If the
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.
System Power-Off After Shutdown
After you shut down Windows 98 or Windows 95 on a TDZ 2000 GL1, 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 operating system
shutdown. This will be corrected in an upcoming BIOS version that 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).
Active Desktop (Windows 95)
On a system with Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2.5, when you start your system for the
first time, Internet Explorer installs at the end of 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, and appears as follows:
u
An active channel bar displays on the right side of the desktop.
u
The operating system’s desktop menus appear in a browser-style interface.

Select No, I do not want to enable Active Desktop, and then click OK.
Shutdown Hang (Windows 95)
On Windows 95 systems that have one or more network drives mapped, the computer may
hang during shutdown at the screen that says "Please wait while Windows 95 Shuts down the
computer...." This is caused by a bug in the Active Desktop component of Internet Explorer
4.0 (IE 4.0). You can work around this problem by disabling Active Desktop; see the
previous section for more information. You can resolve this problem by getting and installing
Service Pack 1 for IE 4.01 from http://www.microsoft.com/ie.
Installing 3Com Network Adapter Driver Software (Windows 95)
On a Windows 95 system with a 3Com network adapter, the driver software is not
preinstalled. The first time the operating system starts, it detects the 3Com network adapter
6

Reinstalling the Intel PRO/100B EtherExpress Driver Software (Windows 95)
If you reinstall the Intel PRO/100B EtherExpress network adapter driver on a Windows 95
system, 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:

MILL2DRVW95) in the system’s
floppy disk drive.
2. In Explorer, find and double-click the

Using Software for Zip or Jaz Drives (Windows 98)
If you purchased an Iomega Jaz or Zip drive with your system, the software included with the
drive options may not function properly in Windows 98. Iomega will release software that is
fully compatible with Windows 98 in August 1998. You will be able to get this software from
Iomega’s Web pages at http://www.iomega.com.
Reinstalling USB Support (Windows 95)
If you reinstall Windows 95 on the system, and you want to use the system’s Universal Serial
Bus (USB) ports, you must reinstall USB support software from the Windows 95
CD-ROM. See the
USB.TXT file on the Windows 95 CD-ROM for instructions.
Reinstalling the Ensoniq AudioPCI Driver Software (Windows 98)
If you reinstall Windows 98 on a system with an Ensoniq AudioPCI sound card, the card is
detected during Setup and listed as an “unknown device” because there is no driver for it in
Windows 98. To reinstall the Ensoniq driver, run the
software CD-ROM. This causes the Add New Hardware Wizard to run; when prompted,
select to display the list of drivers, and select Ensoniq AudioPCI from that list. When the Add
New Hardware Wizard completes, the Ensoniq Install Wizard continues; follow the
instructions displayed to complete the installation.
After the Ensoniq driver software has been installed, you must manually install the MS-DOS
support files. To do this, run the
INITAP.BAT file found in the EAPCI directory on your system.
