Monster 3D Drivers Question: PLEASE HELP!

by Scott R. Lun » Wed, 17 Sep 1997 04:00:00

    I purchased a Diamond Monster 3D the other day and installed it next

to my Intergraph Intense 3D.  No problems at all, everything works
fine.  But this evening I tried to use my Ubisoft F1 demo, and it said
something about needing a different version of Glide.  I figured I
needed newer drivers anyway, and downloaded what I found at Diamond's
website.
    But what am I to do with these??  I am pasting the applicable
portion of the readme file here:

Software Installation: Section 1
--------------------------------
These installation instructions apply when you are updating the Monster
3D
drivers or the Device Manager shows the Monster 3D card in the ? Other
section.

Please follow these steps to get the drivers updated on your Windows
95 system:

    1. Start Windows 95.

    2. Right-click on My Computer and choose Properties.

    3. Choose the Device Manager tab and double click on MULTIMEDIA.

    4. Double click on the Monster 3D PCI Video Multimedia Device.

    5. Click on the Driver tab and then click the Change Driver...
button.
       Monster 3D PCI Video Multimedia Device should be highlighted.

    6. Click on the Have Disk... button.

    7. Type the appropriate path to the Monster 3D Windows 95 drivers
       (X:\WIN95 where X is your CDROM drive. Drivers will be copied to
       the appropriate directory.

    8. After the files have been copied, click the OK button to Restart
       your computer.

    Wonderful.  I am not an idiot....but there is no Driver tab and no
Change Driver button visible to me at all.  Please help!!  I have tried
a couple different things, and no success yet.  Please help!!
    Please e-mail me if you can help!
