Installing the drivers
This page explains how to install the Apocalypse drivers from the
CD-ROM using Windows Plug and Play.
Note that our recommendation is that you use the Apocalyse Installer
to install the software, as it is quicker, easier, and more comprehensive than using
Windows Plug and Play. However, if you prefer to use Windows Plug and Play, follow the
instructions below.
- When your computer has restarted, the Update Device Driver Wizard is
displayed, saying that a Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA) has been detected, and asking

Adapter drivers. Click Other Locations and browse to the folder \apoc5d\win95\2d\disk1 on
