The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Windows versions 3.0, 3.0a
SUMMARY
ATI Technologies has reported that the following two ATI video drivers
do not work properly with Microsoft Windows version 3.0 and should be
removed from the CONFIG.SYS file:
MORE INFORMATION
ATI uses the drivers ATIVIDEO.SYS and ROMBIOS.SYS to shadow the video
BIOS from read only memory (ROM) into random access memory (RAM)
Video or ROM shadowing is when the instructions contained on the ROM
chip are copied to the RAM chip at bootup. Accessing RAM is faster
than accessing ROM, and shadowing the video BIOS into RAM increases
the speed of the screen writes.
ATI recommends taking these drivers out of CONFIG.SYS for other
reasons, also. If you have a 286 or 386 system, your machine may have
the capability to provide these features in the system setup of your
machine. This procedure does not use valuable conventional memory for
these settings such as loading the drivers in the CONFIG.SYS does.
