760w95m.txt 74H1111 Installing Windows(**) 95 Upgrade on IBM ThinkPad 760C and 760CD Version 1.01 Mar. 20, 1996 The purpose of this document is to assist you in installing Windows 95 on your ThinkPad 760C or 760CD computer. All the steps listed should be followed exactly to help you in your successful installation of Microsoft(**) Windows 95 and the use of all the ThinkPad functions. Make sure to have the proper diskettes on hand and do the steps to prepare your system for the installation. This document is written with the assumption that you are starting with an IBM Preloaded "SelectaSystem" which means that OS/2 Warp and Dos/Windows 3.11 came on your system. Also assumed is that the ThinkPad Features and utilities that were installed on your system are still there, for example, you should have an icon called "ThinkPad Features" on your Windows desktop. If you have reformatted your hard drive or do not have the ThinkPad Features loaded, you will need to obtain the programs from IBM. These additional programs are listed in section 8 of this document. As with any significant change to your computer's operating system or software configuration, you should be sure to backup all important files including data files before proceeding.

These diskettes are available to you at no charge and are listed at the end of this document (Section 8). 2. Preparing Your System For the Windows 95 Installation ----------------------------------------------------- A. Update the system's bios 1. Place the System Program Service diskette in your diskette drive and turn on your system. Follow the instructions. Note: Cancel the installation if "installing down-level" or "An update is not necessary at this time" message is displayed - you already have the correct bios. 2. Initialize your system. a. Turn off the system. Press and hold the F1 key and turn on the system. The Easy Setup screen should appear. b. Select CONFIG, Initialize, OK, Exit, Restart, OK B. OS/2 Warp currently installed on ThinkPad? Yes => Go to Step C. No => Go to Step D. Cleanup your setup files C. Remove OS/2 Warp NOTE: If you wish to keep OS/2, Boot Manager should be used to control which operating system will be started on your ThinkPad. See the Windows 95 SETUP.TXT file for more information. It is located on Windows 95 Diskette 1 and on the Windows 95 CD in the \WIN95 directory. After you have reviewed this document and made any necessary changes, skip ahead to step 2.D. (Cleanup your setup files) a. Do you have a "Delete OS/2 Warp" icon (normally in the "OS/2 Warp" Program Group)? Yes => Double click on the Delete OS/2 Warp icon and follow the instructions to remove OS/2 Warp (Click options and choose delete). No => From Windows Program Manager, Click File, Run. Then type "C:\OS2TOOLS\WARPREMV.EXE WARPREMV.TXT WARPREMV.LST" and press enter. Click Options, then click Delete. Click OK for each of the two warnings. D. Cleanup your setup files This is required to remove programs that will not work in Windows 95 that the installation program will not perform automatically. 1. Make backup copy of system files to be modified. This installation procedure will require you to view and in some cases modify your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, and WIN.INI files. Before proceeding, we recommend that you make a backup copy of these files. a. At the DOS C:\ prompt, type "MD C:\TP95PREP" and press Enter. b. Type "CD \TP95PREP" and press Enter. c. Type "COPY C:\CONFIG.SYS" and press Enter. d. Type "COPY C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT" and press Enter. e. Type "COPY C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI and press Enter. This will copy these system files to the C:\TP95PREP directory. 2. Remove STRTSCR.EXE (ThinkPad Welcome screens). To avoid a possible "Windows 95 Explorer Fault" error message, you should remove the STRTSCR.EXE from the Windows WIN.INI file. a. Start the Windows 3.1 NotePad application from the Accessories Program Group. b. Click File, Open. Then type "C:\WINDOWS\WIN.INI" and press Enter. c. Find the line (near the top) that begins with "load=" or "run=". d. If the line contains "C:\SCREENS\STRTSCR.EXE", then delete this portion of the line. For example, "run=C:\SCREENS\STRTSCR.EXE C:\THINKPAD\FUELWIN.EXE" should be changed to: "run=C:\THINKPAD\FUELWIN.EXE" Or, "load=C:\SCREENS\STRTSCR.EXE" should be changed to: "load=" e. After the change is made, click File, then Exit. Then click "Yes" to save the change. 3. Remove unnecessary PCMCIA SRAM, Flash, and ATA drivers and other settings. If you are installing from CD or a network drive and you plan to use the Windows 95 Integrated PCMCIA support (recommended), you may want to first disable the PCMCIA driver for SRAM, Flash, and ATA type PCMCIA cards. This will remove the drive letters (usually D,E,F, and G) reserved by the PCMCIA driver. These will not be reserved when you install the Windows 95 Integrated PCMCIA support later, so disabling this before installation of Windows 95 will give you a consistent default installation drive for any Windows 95 drivers you may install in the future. To disable the PCMCIA SRAM, Flash, and ATA driver: a. Edit the CONFIG.SYS (using Windows Notepad or another editor. b. Find the line that contains: "DISKDRV.SYS" If not already present, place a "REM " in front of this line so that it will not be executed. For example, "DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\DISKDRV.SYS" should be changed to: "REM DEVICEHIGH=C:\THINKPAD\DISKDRV.SYS" Other cleanup recommendations: While these lines will not prevent your system from operating in Windows 95, they will generate error messages and we recommend making these changes. c. Edit the CONFIG.SYS using Windows Notepad or another editor. d. Find the line or lines that contain: "/FASTA20" Remove the "/FASTA20" from this line, for example : "DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /FASTA20" should be changed to "DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS" e. Find the line or lines that contain: "MOVEXBDAHI" Remove the "MOVEXBDAHI" from all lines, for example : "DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS MOVEXBDAHI I=B000-BFFF X=C800-CFFF" should be changed to "DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS I=B000-BFFF X=C800-CFFF" f. Exit the editor and save the changes. 4. Remove IBM Antivirus for DOS / Windows from the AUTOEXEC.BAT. This is necessary since the IBM Antivirus for DOS / Windows program is not supported in Windows 95. If you are using other virus protection software, you should see the SETUP.TXT file on the Windows 95 Diskette 1 or in the \WIN95 directory on the Windows 95 CD for information before continuing with installation. a. Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT (using Windows Notepad or another editor. b. Find the line that contains: "IBMAVDR.BAT" Place a "REM " in front of this line so that it will not be run. For example, "CALL C:\DOS\IBMAVDR.BAT C:\DOS\" should be changed to: "REM CALL C:\DOS\IBMAVDR.BAT C:\DOS\" c. Exit the editor and save the change. 3. Installing Windows 95 --------------------- Note: Before proceeding, be sure to exit Windows, then press Cntl- Alt-Del to restart the system and make the previous changes effective. A. From Windows 3.11, start the Windows 95 SETUP program. Follow the instructions that came with the Windows 95 program (normally File, Run, D:\SETUP). If you are installing from a CD-ROM with the ThinkPad 760CD internal CD-ROM drive (760CD model only), the CD-ROM and Diskette drives can only be swapped while the system is powered off or in FULL Suspend mode (Suspend LED lit and one audible beep).

From Windows 95 Desktop, open the settings for "Exit To Dos": Double click "My Computer", then "(C:)". Then double click the "Windows" folder and find the "Exit To Dos" icon. With the right mouse button, click this icon. This should open a selection window. B. Choose "Properties" from the selection window. C. "Exit To Dos Properties" Window should now be displayed. Select "Program", then "Advanced". The "Advanced Program Settings" window should be displayed. Ensure that the MS-DOS mode box is checked. D. Click the "Specify a new MS-DOS configuration" circle. You may now add DOS statements that will be loaded when the system is started in Real DOS Mode. The following lists our recommendations which may be typed in the following windows. These statements will also ensure that a mouse driver and MWAVE game support is added. "CONFIG.SYS for MS-DOS mode:" DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DOS=HIGH,UMB DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE RAM FRAME=E000 DEVICEHIGH=C:\MWW\MANAGER\MWD50430.EXE DEVICEHIGH=C:\CDROM\IBMTPCD.SYS <- (760CD Only) DEVICE=C:\V7320\V7320MGR.EXE <- (760CD Only) DEVICE=C:\V7320\V7320APM.EXE <- (760CD Only) "AUTOEXEC.BAT for MS-DOS mode" SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 SET PS2MSG=C:\THINKPAD\PS2.MSG SET MWPATH=C:\MWD\MANAGER;C:\MWD\MWGAMES SET PATH=C:\THINKPAD;C:\MWD\MANAGER;C:\MWW\DLL;C:\COMPELPE; SET LIBPATH=C:\MWD\MANAGER SET MWROOT=C:\MWD SET IPF_PATH=C:\IPFWIN LOADHIGH C:\CDROM\MSCDEX.EXE /D:TPCD001 <- (760CD Only) CALL MWAVE START NOSHOW LOADHIGH C:\DOS\MOUSE.COM /Y E. After the changes are made, click "OK" and "OK" again to close the open windows. This configuration will now be used when you restart your system in MS-DOS mode. 10. Creating a Windows 95 Startup Disk ---------------------------------- A. You must have a blank, formatted 1.4MB diskette and the diskette drive installed before proceeding. You must also have your Windows 95 program disks or CD available. If you are installing from CD, start your system with the CD-ROM drive installed. B. Double click "My Computer". C. Double click "Control Panel". D. Double click "Add/Remove Programs" E. Click "Startup Disk" tab, then "Create Disk..." F. You will be asked to insert the disk in drive A: If you need to exchange your cd-rom and diskette drive => go to step G. If you are installing from diskette => Follow the instructions on your screen (end of procedure). G. Press FN F4 to enter suspend mode. After the one beep, exchange your CD-ROM drive with the diskette drive. Press FN to resume. H. Insert a blank diskette in the diskette drive. I. Click "OK". The diskette will be created. 11. Dock II SCSI Bios (using Dock II only) -------------------------------------- Disable SCSI BIOS in Dock 2. (Installations with Dock 2 only) If you have a Dock 2, this step is necessary to ensure proper warm / hot docking to the Dock 2 when running Windows 95. This is done by changing DIP switch settings in the Dock 2. Switches 1, 2, and 3 should be set to "On" to select "BIOS disabled, board active on reset". See the Dock 2 User's Guide for instructions. 12. Removing DOS Startup Menu in CONFIG.SYS --------------------------------------- If you are currently using a Startup Menu in CONFIG.SYS, you may want to skip this menu now that Windows 95 is installed. Use of this type of startup menu in CONFIG.SYS is usually not required in Windows 95 since Windows 95: - Is less prone to Conventional Memory Constraints. - Can automatically develop configurations for Docked and Undocked states. - Can Restart to MS-DOS Mode when required. If you would like to skip this menu during startup, do the following: a. At the DOS Prompt, type Edit C:\CONFIG.SYS and press Enter. b. In the ˛MENUˇ section of CONFIG.SYS, find the line that begins with "MENUDEFAULT=". This line specifies which DOS menu selection will be used as default, and the time to wait before starting without any input. c. If there is a comma followed by a number at the end of this line, change the number to 0. d. If there is no comma and number at the end of this line, add the following at the end of the line with no space after the configuration name: ,0 e. Click File, then Exit, then Yes to save the change. At your next restart, Windows 95 should use the default startup in your CONFIG.SYS without displaying the menu. 13. Configuring ThinkPad Hardware Devices in Windows 95 --------------------------------------------------- If you need to change any of your hardware device settings such as I/O address, IRQ, or DMA, you need to use the proper utility for the device you wish to configure. In some cases you will need to use Windows 95 Device Manager and in some cases you will need to use the ThinkPad Setup utility. See the table below for the utility to use for each device: Hardware Device To Change Resource Settings --------------- --------------------------- Mwave DSP Windows 95 Device Manager - Soundblaster(**) Windows 95 Device Manager - MPU-401 MIDI Windows 95 Device Manager - Modem Windows 95 Device Manager Infrared ThinkPad Setup, Infrared Serial ThinkPad Setup, Serial Parallel ThinkPad Setup, Parallel Enhanced Video ThinkPad Setup, Video Controller NOTE: A Red X beside a device in Device manager only means that the device is disabled in the current configuration. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Trademarks ---------- The following terms, used in this publication, are trademarks of the IBM Corporation in the United States or other countries or both: IBM Mwave OS/2 OS/2 Warp ThinkPad Win-OS/2 The following terms, denoted by a double asterisk (**) in this publication, are trademarks of other companies as follows: Microsoft Microsoft Corporation Windows Microsoft Corporation MS-DOS Microsoft Corporation PCMCIA Personal Computer Memory Card International Association Trident Trident Microsystems, Inc.
