ATI’s 3D RAGE accelerator chips provide advanced 3D support
and accelerated 2D graphics. Games and software applications
that support the 3D RAGE — including Direct3D applications
— run with fluid motion and in brilliant color.
ALL-IN-WONDER PRO is a part of ATI’s legendary family of
graphics accelerators. Your existing 2D games and applications
will snap to life with 64-bit acceleration and faster, more vibrant
colors.
You can use ALL-IN-WONDER PRO to connect your
computer to a television. This feature is ideal for playing games,
giving presentations, watching movies, and browsing the
Internet. (For more information, see Using Your ALL-IN-
WONDER PRO on page 25.)

Installing your card consists of three, easy steps.
• Placing the card in your computer
• Installing ATI’s enhanced display drivers

12 Installing the Hardware and Software
Preparing Your Computer
If you are using an operating system other than Windows®95 or
Windows®98, you may need to do the following before
installing your card:
If your current system configuration uses special drivers that are
not 640x480 VGA, you may encounter conflicts with the card.
We recommend that you first reconfigure your operating system
to use a VGA driver supplied with your operating system before
installing the card. For more information about changing your
operating system configuration, see your operating system
documentation.
Installing the Hardware
Now that you have prepared your computer, you are ready to
install your card. If you are not sure whether your
ALL-IN-WONDER PRO is PCI or AGP, compare the bottom
edge of your card with the following illustration:
Turn off the power to your system, and discharge your
body’s static electric charge by touching a grounded
surface — for example, the metal surface of the power
supply — before performing any hardware procedure.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage,
caused directly or indirectly, by improper installation of
any components by unauthorized service personnel. If
you do not feel comfortable performing the installation,
consult a qualified computer technician.
Damage to system components, the accelerator card, and
injury to yourself may result if power is applied during
installation.

Installing the Hardware and Software 13
To install your card
Power-off the computer and monitor, then disconnect
the monitor cable from the back of your computer.
Remove the computer cover. If necessary, consult your
computer system manual about removing the cover.

14 Installing the Hardware and Software
If you intend to run multiple displays with Windows®98
(see Multiple Display Support in Windows® 98 on
page 60), proceed to step 4. Otherwise, remove any
existing graphics card from your computer.
Or, if your computer has any on-board graphics
capability, you may need to disable it on the motherboard.
For more information, see your computer documentation.
If necessary, remove the metal cover from the empty
expansion slot that you select (PCI cards use a PCI slot;
AGP cards use an AGP slot), then align your new card
with an empty expansion slot, and press it in firmly
until fully seated.

card sticks,
rock it
gently from
end to end.

Installing ATI’s Enhanced
Windows®95 / Windows®98 Software
The ALL-IN-WONDER PRO is designed to function fully
under Windows®95 and Windows®98. When running under
other operating systems, it operates as a graphics cards only.
Your computer uses programs called graphics drivers to
display information on the screen. ATI’s enhanced drivers give
you enhanced speed, resolution, color depth, graphic utilities,
and 3D features.
In addition, the ATI VIDEO PLAYER program completes the
functionality of ALL-IN-WONDER PRO.
Installing Enhanced Drivers and
the ATI VIDEO PLAYER for Windows®95 / Windows®98
You need to install ATI’s enhanced driver for Windows®95 or
Windows®98 to take advantage of your card’s higher
performance, resolutions, and special features.
If you are running Windows®95, when you first boot your
computer with your ALL-IN-WONDER PRO card installed,
your system may prompt you to launch a wizard to install the
“Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA)”. Click CANCEL.
If you are running Windows®98, after you have installed your
ALL-IN-WONDER PRO card and rebooted your computer,
your system will prompt you to insert the Windows®98 CD.
This is not necessary.
1
Click OK to move to the next instruction.
You will be prompted to locate the Windows®98 CD.
2
Click CANCEL.
You will now be notified that drivers have not been
installed for your new hardware.
