NOTE: If you don't have the necessary 256-color driver,
or if you aren't sure that your video card supports 256
colors, contact your video card manufacturer.
 
(Windows 3.1 only) IMPORTANT: Use the File Manager to
copy and rename the SYSTEM.INI file before using the

In the Main group, double-click Windows Setup.
On the Options menu, click Change System Settings.
In the Display list, click a 256-color display driver

not sure which video driver to select, contact your
video card manufacturer.) NOTE: You must use a minimum
display resolution of 640 x 480.
Click OK.
Restart Windows, and install Microsoft Fury3.
 
If you have a video card that uses the S3 chip set and

manufacturer to make sure you have a compatible video
driver.

SYSTEM.INI file before following this procedure. For
your protection, do not make changes to the original

   Setup.
On the Options menu, click Change System Settings.
In the Display list, click Super VGA or a newer
   256-color display driver suited for the video card

   >  Using an ATI mach32 or mach64 Display Driver
   (Windows 3.1 only)
   -------------
 
Prior to installing Fury3, please ensure that you are
using an ATI display driver released after May 1995 for
mach32products and after June 1995 for mach64 products.
Earlier versions of the mach32 and mach64 Windows
drivers may cause difficulties in full screen modes.
 
If you find that your present ATI mach32 driver was
released before May 1995 or your mach64 driver was
released before July 1995, the updated drivers are
provided on this CD in the ATI directory. The drivers
contained on the CD are current as of July 1995 and are
identical to the drivers available on the ATI BBS at
the time.
 
To determine the date and version of the ATI driver on
your system, follow the procedure below. For ATI
products that use the ATI Desktop (all mach64 and
Graphics Wonder):
Double-click the ATI Desktop icon.
Select HELP from the Title Bar.
Select ABOUT... from the drop down list.
Ensure that the date is later than June 1, 1995.
 
If your ATI product uses the FLEXDESK Control Panel (all
mach32 except the Graphics Wonder):
Double-click the mach FLEXDESK Control Panel icon.
Select HELP from the Title Bar.
Select ABOUT... from the drop down list.
Ensure that the FLEXDESK Driver build is 2.6 or
     higher.
 
ATI is continually improving their drivers. The latest
versions of all ATI drivers are available from the
ATI Download BBS at (905) 764-9404, via ATI's forum on
CompuServe at GO ATITECH, or from the ATI FTP site at
ftp://ftp.atitech.ca
