ThinkPad Windows 95 Enhancement Diskette Thank you for buying an IBM ThinkPad* computer. This upgrade will assist you in installing the Microsoft** Windows** 95 operating system. To install Windows 95, certain control files and the system BIOS must be updated. A Setup and BIOS update diskette have been included to make these updates. During installation, your current operating system will be removed. For this reason, IBM recommends that you use the Diskette Factory application to create recovery diskettes. In addition, you should back up all data files to disk before installing Windows 95 (i.e. word processor files, spreadsheets). If you do not make backup disks, your data will be lost. Note: Your system must be set up to boot your DOS operating system for proper operation of this upgrade. Upgrade Instruction 1. Insert the ThinkPad Windows 95 Setup Diskette into drive A. 2. Restart your ThinkPad by turning the power "off" and then "on", or pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del. 3. Select Option 1. Follow the instructions on the screen careful. (Menu Option 1 will install Windows 95 on your system and make the changes necessary for proper operation.) 4. Select Option 2 to view documentation on changes that will occur. 5. Select Option 3 to exit Supported systems - ThinkPad 755CE/CD/CX/CV/CDV - ThinkPad 755C/CS - ThinkPad 701C/Cs - ThinkPad 360/355/370C - ThinkPad 340CSE Changes made by Setup Diskette Program System BIOS: Before you install Windows 95, your system BIOS will need to be updated to ensure that Plug and Play will function properly. If you are not at the latest BIOS level, then please download the latest System Program Service diskette (BIOS update) before continuing. It is possible that your system already has the required level of system BIOS. In this case, you will get a message that your system does not need to be updated. If this happens, continue as if the BIOS had been updated. ThinkPad Welcome Screens: The ThinkPad Welcome Screens on the following ThinkPad systems may cause a "Windows 95 Explorer Fault." - ThinkPad 755C/Cs - ThinkPad 360/355 Family - ThinkPad 755CE/CD - ThinkPad 340CSE - ThinkPad 370C - ThinkPad 701C ThinkPad Welcome Screens will no longer be displayed automatically. The programs are not being deleted, the instructions that call the screens are removed from your WIN.INI file. Video device drivers: Video device drivers are included in Windows 95 and are automatically installed by Windows 95 Setup program. In addition to this driver, the setup disk will install the VESA video driver on the following systems. - ThinkPad 755C/Cs - ThinkPad 360/355 Family - ThinkPad 370 You will not need to install the Windows 3.1 video driver. OS/2 Warp: Windows 95 cannot be installed with OS/2 Warp. Therefore, if you wish to continue installation of Windows 95, OS/2 will be removed from your system along with all preinstalled OS/2 applications. If you have not used the Diskette Factory application to create diskettes, you will have no way to reinstall DOS, Windows 3.1, or OS/2 Warp should you later choose to. PCMCIA device drivers : Although Windows 95 comes with the integrated PCMCIA support, the installation program does not enable PCMCIA support automatically. If you already have EasyPlaying/PC Card Director PCMCIA support installed in DOS/Windows, you can continue to use it. However, the software will not work in conjunction with Windows 95 plug and play software. To enable Windows 95 PCMCIA support, open My Computer, open Control Panel, double click on PC Card (PCMCIA), then follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. This procedure will automatically disable the EasyPlaying/PC Card Director drivers by REMarking them out of your CONFIG.SYS file. ----------------- * Trademarks of the IBM Corporation. ** Trademarks of the Microsoft Corporation. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- NOTE: ** NO WARRANTY ** ANY USE BY YOU OF THE SOFTWARE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
