This video card is not automatically detected during Setup. You must install the driver for this card manually. Network Drivers No Longer Provided with Windows for Workgroups -------------------------------------------------------------- - No Network Installed - 3Com 3+Open (all versions) - 3Com 3+Share (all versions) - Artisoft LANtastic (all versions) - Banyan VINES (all versions) - IBM OS/2 LAN Server (all versions) - IBM PC LAN Program (all versions) - Microsoft LAN Manager (version 2.0 and below) - Microsoft Network or compatible (all versions) - Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) Pathworks (all versions) - TCS 10Net (all versions) If you have one of these networks, Setup warns you to remove it before you continue and then replaces it with Windows for Workgroups. Compatible Networks ------------------- - Microsoft Workgroup Client (all versions) - Microsoft LAN Manager (version 2.1) - Novell NetWare (all versions) New Network Drivers and Files ----------------------------- WFWNET.DRV WFWNET.HLP VNETBIOS.386 VNETSUP.386 VREDIR.386 VSERVER.386 VBROWSE.386 VWC.386 NETAPI.DLL PMSPL.DLL NETDDE.EXE NDDENB.DLL WFWSETUP.CPL NETWORK.INF LM21DRV.UPD New Windows Drivers (Controls, Mail, NetDDE, VxDs) -------------------------------------------------- COMMCTRL.DLL AB.DLL DEMILAYR.DLL FRAMEWRK.DLL MAILMGR.DLL MAILSPL.EXE MAPI.DLL MSSFS.DLL PABNSP.DLL SENDFILE.DLL STORE.DLL VFORMS.DLL NDDEAPI.DLL VSHARE.386 VCD.386 VDMAD.386 VPICD.386 VPD.386 New Applications and Utilities ------------------------------ CLIPBRD.EXE ClipBook Viewer CLIPSRV.EXE ClipBook Server WINCHAT.EXE Chat WINMETER.EXE WinMeter MSMAIL.EXE Mail SCHDPLUS.EXE Schedule+ NETWATCH.EXE NetWatcher MSHEARTS.EXE Hearts Windows 3.1 Programs/Files Not Included in Windows for Workgroups ----------------------------------------------------------------- CALENDAR.EXE Calendar SSMYST.SCR Mystify Screen Saver ARCHES.BMP Arches Wallpaper CHITZ.BMP Chitz Wallpaper FLOCK.BMP Flock Wallpaper MARBLE.BMP Marble Wallpaper TARTAN.BMP Tartan Wallpaper CHORD.WAV Chord Sound TADA.WAV Trumpet Sound APPS.HLP Application Compatibility Help Changes to the MS-DOS-Based Portion of Setup -------------------------------------------- The Workgroup upgrade for Microsoft Windows version 3.0 users and the Workgroup upgrade for Microsoft Windows version 3.1 users perform a version check and require a previous version of Windows installed on the system. Setup looks for the WIN.COM file. During hardware detection, networks supported for Windows 3.1 are detected to determine compatibility with Windows for Workgroups. Only Workgroup Connections, NetWare, and Microsoft LAN Manager version 2.1 are compatible with Windows for Workgroups. The networks list is not shown in the system settings; WFWNET.DRV is the only supported primary network for this version. NetWare can be added as a secondary network later in the Windows-based portion of Setup. SETUP /I disables hardware detection, including network software detection, and initiates Custom Setup instead of Express Setup by default. Changes to the Graphics-Based Portion of Setup ---------------------------------------------- The first event in the graphics-based portion of Windows for Workgroups Setup is network card detection (NCD). If the system stops responding (hangs) at the transition from the MS-DOS-based portion of Setup to the Windows-based portion of Setup (at the blue "Windows Setup" screen), it is probably because of NCD. To recover from this situation, restart the computer and run Setup again. Setup leaves a flag in the SYSTEM.INI file so that NCD is not run the second time. Running Setup with the /I parameter also disables NCD. The user-information dialog box now contains computer name and workgroup in addition to the user's name and company. If MCSDEX.EXE or TBMI2.COM are in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, Setup copies a new version of these files to the WINDOWS directory and replaces the lines calling these files in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file. The /y parameter is also added to the MSCDEX line. The mouse is handled in a similar fashion. Network adapters, protocols, and secondary network drivers are added right after printer installation. The Exit Setup dialog box no longer contains the Restart Windows option because the network drivers (WORKGRP.SYS and so forth) must be loaded by restarting the computer. Changes to Maintenance Mode of Setup ------------------------------------ The networks list is not shown in the system settings; WFWNET.DRV is the only supported primary network for this version. The Network Adapter and Compatible Networks dialog boxes are available from the Control Panel Networks option and are not available from Setup in maintenance mode.
