Installation
Installing the Driver Software
Your product CD includes 3Dlabs driver software. This section describes the two software installation
processes for supported Windows operating systems.
To install your 3Dlabs Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 98/Me driver
Note: A user with Windows Administrator privileges must install this driver. Please consult
your system administrator or Microsoft operating system User’s Manual for more information
on Administrator privileges.
1. After installing your 3Dlabs Graphics Accelerator Card, start up Windows. The Hardware Wizard
appears.
2. Click Cancel in all dialog boxes that appear regarding Found New Hardware.
3. Place the 3Dlabs Product CD in your CD-ROM drive. When the installation window opens,
choose the 3Dlabs Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows 98/Me driver installation. Check
your card’s specifications to determine which operating system is supported. Not all operating
systems are supported by all Wildcat VP cards.
4. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen. (Be sure to read the software license
agreement.)
5. If the Digital Signature Not Found box or Has Not Passed Windows Logo Testing box appears,
click Yes or Continue Anyway. This step may be repeated. Continue clicking Yes until the
Restart dialog appears, then click Finish to reboot.
To install the driver for 3ds max
For best results, select the OpenGL renderer for 3ds max 4 versions, and the Direct3D renderer
for 3ds max 5 and later.
To install the Wildcat custom driver for 3ds max 4, copy the wc3dsmax.drv file from the 3dsmax
directory on 3Dlabs Product CD to the 3ds max 4 directory on your hard drive, e.g. C:\3dsmax4.
When you run 3ds max 4 go to the Customize/Preferences/Viewports/ChooseDriver menu, select the
Custom option and select wc3dsmax.drv as the custom driver. If you restart 3ds max 4, it should then
use the Wildcat custom driver.
