[comp.windows.ms] Help needed to install Orchid Pro II extented drivers

nan@phobos.cis.ksu.edu (Nan Zou ) (11/28/90)

I'm having great difficulty installing the extented video drivers (800x600x256
1024x768x256) for an Orchid Pro II w/ 1M. Orchid seems to provide good drivers,
but I can't seem to use them!! I used both methods from the readme.win file. 
First, I install Windows as normal, using standard VGA as my video mode. Then I
copy all the drivers to the windows/system directory, this is supposed to let
me change the video mode from within windows, but when I go to windows setup,it
doesn't give me any choices of extented modes. 

Then I tried the second method, which involves replacing the setup disk with a
new setup.inf. Then all hell broke loose. It will ask me for, say, disk 1 even
that is the disk I have in drive A. Setup no longer seems to recognize my disk.
Finally it gives me a "error building win.com".

If anyone has successfully install the extented modes for the Pro II please 
help me. Thanks a million.
