ThinkPad Windows 95 Enhancement Diskette

Thank you for buying an IBM ThinkPad* computer. This upgrade will assist you in
installing the Microsoft** Windows** 95 operating system.  To install Windows
95, certain control files and the system BIOS must be updated.  A Setup and
BIOS update diskette have been included to make these updates.  During
installation, your current operating system will be removed.  For this reason,
IBM recommends that you use the Diskette Factory application to create recovery
diskettes. In addition, you should back up all data files to disk before
installing Windows 95 (i.e. word processor files, spreadsheets).  If you do
not make backup disks, your data will be lost.

Note:  Your system must be set up to boot your DOS operating system for proper
       operation of this upgrade.


Upgrade Instruction

1. Insert the ThinkPad Windows 95 Setup Diskette into drive A.
2. Restart your ThinkPad by turning the power "off" and then "on", or pressing
   Ctrl+Alt+Del.
3. Select Option 1.  Follow the instructions on the screen careful.  (Menu
   Option 1 will install Windows 95 on your system and make the changes
   necessary for proper operation.)
4. Select Option 2 to view documentation on changes that will occur.
5. Select Option 3 to exit

Changes made by Setup Diskette Program

System BIOS:  Before you install Windows 95, your system BIOS will need to be
updated to ensure that Plug and Play will function properly.  It is possible
that your system already has the required level of system BIOS.  In this case,
you will get a message that your system does not need to be updated.  If this
happens, continue as if the BIOS had been updated.

ThinkPad Welcome Screens:  The ThinkPad Welcome Screens on the following
ThinkPad systems may cause a "Windows 95 Explorer Fault."

- ThinkPad 755C/Cs
- ThinkPad 360/355 Family
- ThinkPad 755CE/CD
- ThinkPad 340CSE
- ThinkPad 370C
- ThinkPad 701C

ThinkPad Welcome Screens will no longer be displayed automatically.  The
programs are not being deleted, the instructions that call the screens are
removed from your WIN.INI file.

Video device drivers:  Video device drivers are included in Windows 95 and are
automatically installed by Windows 95 Setup program.  In addition to this
driver, the setup disk will install the VESA video driver on the following
systems.

- ThinkPad 755C/Cs
- ThinkPad 360/355 Family
- ThinkPad 370

You will not need to install the Windows 3.1 video driver.

OS/2 Warp:  Windows 95 cannot be installed with OS/2 Warp.  Therefore, if you
wish to continue installation of Windows 95, OS/2 will be removed from your
system along with all preinstalled OS/2 applications.

If you have not used the Diskette Factory application to create diskettes, you
will have no way to reinstall DOS, Windows 3.1, or OS/2 Warp should you later
choose to. PCMCIA device drivers :  Although Windows 95 comes with the
integrated PCMCIA support, the installation program does not enable PCMCIA
support automatically.  If you already have EasyPlaying/PC Card Director PCMCIA
support installed in DOS/Windows, you can continue to use it.  However, the
software will not work in conjunction with Windows 95 plug and play software.

To enable Windows 95 PCMCIA support, open My Computer, open Control Panel,
double click on PC Card (PCMCIA), then follow the on-screen instructions to
complete the installation.

This procedure will automatically disable the EasyPlaying/PC Card Director
drivers by REMarking them out of your CONFIG.SYS file.
