1. INSTALLING THE NVIDIA VIDEO DRIVER
-------------------------------------

  Your computer system shipped pre-installed with the graphics software
  drivers for an NVIDIA graphics cards.

  For your convenience, the following procedures describe how to install
  the graphics driver software.

  The Unattended Video Driver Installation as described in 1.2 allows to
  install the drivers and configure your monitor
  settings by a single command line. You can also set parameters for a
  'silent' installation (no messages displayed during the installation).

  NOTE: Before installing the NVIDIA video driver, please close all open
        application programs and disable any anti-virus software
        running on your computer until the driver installation is
        complete! In addition, if you already have an Nvidia driver installed,
        please uninstall the driver before installing another version of the
        driver.


1.1 Menu-controlled Video Driver Installation
---------------------------------------------

  1. Open the NVIDIA driver installation .EXE file to launch the NVIDIA
     InstallShield Wizard.

  2. Follow the instructions in the NVIDIA InstallShield Wizard to complete the
     installation.


1.2 Unattended Video Driver Installation
----------------------------------------

  If you prefer to configure your system by command line editing you may
  install the video drivers and set the monitor configuration of your
  primary display as follows:


  1. Open a command prompt window by clicking on 'Start', 'Programs',
     'Accessories', 'Command Prompt'.

  2. Go to the directory which contains the NVIDIA device driver
     (e.g. C:\NVIDIA_DRVS)

  3. Enter the following command:

     SETUP -h"x" -v"y" -b"c" -j"f" -k -s

     These are the command line options.  Please see section 2.3 for valid
     options:

     -h"x" Resolution (horizontal)

     -v"y" Resolution (vertical)

     -b"c" Color Depth (in bits per pixel)

     -j"f" Refresh rate (in Hz)

     -k    Force a reboot after a silent installation - must precede -s
           option in command for system to reboot.

     -s    Silent Installation - no installation messages displayed during
           installation.

     -n    No reboot upon silent installation. Used in conjunction with the
           -s option ("-n" must precede "-s", i.e. "setup.exe -n -s")

     Example: For a silent installation of the NVIDIA video drivers,
     configuring your monitor for 800x600 at 75 Hz, 16 bits per pixel,
     the command looks like this:

       setup -h"800" -v"600" -b"16" -j"75" -s

     Warning!
     Selecting a resolution or refresh rate that your monitor does not
     support can permanently damage the monitor.  Check the documentation
     of your monitor and make sure that the monitor supports the selected
