Note: This file is a Read.me file on the drivers diskette.

Follow these steps to set up Windows 3.1 to operate in the full page mode:

1.  Type: fp off <ENTER> to disable FP.EXE.

2.  Install Windows and set it up for VGA operation per the Windows 3.1
    User's Guide.  Verify that Windows operates and exit windows.

3.  Make the directory that contains the Windows system files the active
    directory.  For most systems, you do this by typing: cd \windows\system
    <ENTER>.

Note: If you are installing from the 3 1/2-inch disk, place the DRIVERS
disk in Drive A.  If you are installing from the 5 1/4-inch disks, place
the SUPPLEMENTAL DRIVERS 2 disk in Drive A.

4.  Type: a:win31 <ENTER> to copy the drivers files to your hard drive.

5.  Make the directory that contains the Windows program files the active

    type:  cd .. <ENTER>.

6.  Type: win setup <ENTER> to start Windows and enter Windows Setup.

7.  Press: <ALT><O><C> in sequence to Change System Settings.

You can choose from three display types for the VGM-150:

VGM-150 Actual Size View (100%) displays the entire text area of an
    8 1/2 x 11-inch page (using 1-inch margins) in the same size as the
    printed page.  Use this selection if you frequently use Windows Write
    or other programs that do not have a full page viewing mode.

VGM-150 Enlarged View (120%) displays a view of the printed page, magnified
    by about 20%, making small characters easier to read.  This is the same
    as the standard VGA mode, but uses the entire screen.  Use this
    selection if you frequently use Windows applications that have a
    "Page View" or "Print Preview" mode or any similar mode that provides a
    way to view the entire page.  You can also use this selection with
    Windows Write to display about twice as much of a page as a standard
    VGA display, but you do not see the entire page because of the
    magnification used.

VGA displays in standard VGA mode on the VGM-150.

8.  Highlight the VGM-150 display you want to use and press <ENTER>.

9.  Press <ENTER> to select the current driver.

10. Press <ENTER> to restart Windows.  Windows restarts in full page mode.
    You do not need to repeat this procedure unless you reinstall Windows.

11. You can continue to work in Windows, or exit by typing: <ALT><F><X>
    <ENTER>.

Note: The next time you start Windows, it starts in full page mode.  Before
you start Windows, first type: fp off <ENTER> to be sure FP.EXE is
disabled.

Note: If FP.EXE is active when you start Windows, Windows' colors (gray
shades) are not correct.  When you select Windows' colors from the Control
Panel, try to select the least grainy shades, so characters are sharp and
easy to read.
