Installing Utilities and Drivers

Dell provides you with programs that let you control 

certain features of your computer, such as video resolu-
tion and battery conservation. These programs are 
sometimes called utilities or drivers.

This document explains how to install utilities and driv-
ers in the following operating systems, as applicable:

Microsoft

® Windows® 3.x

Microsoft Windows for Workgroups™ 3.x 

Microsoft Windows NT ® 3.51

Microsoft Windows 95

Use the program diskette set you made when you 
received your computer, or the diskette set you received 
separately from Dell.

Installing the Video Driver
The video driver provides an easy-to-use online utility 
for customizing your video features, such as resolution 
and number of screen colors.

NOTES: The driver for the NeoMagic 2093 video con-
troller on the Dell Latitude XPi CD M166ST is 
compatible with the NeoMagic 2090 video controller on 
the Dell Latitude XPi CD P150ST. However, the driver 
for the 2090 video controller is not compatible with the 
driver for the 2093 video controller.

If you need to use extended-video modes, check the docu-
mentation that accompanied the application program to 
determine if the drivers are provided. If not, contact the 
software manufacturer to get the necessary drivers.
