Installation and De-installation
================================

This release contains an installer/uninstaller utility.  This utility 
however does not configure the driver.  Please be sure to update your 
ssigd.inf file with appropriate settings for your display configuration 
prior to installation.  The installation program requires specific file 
names, so if you have a different INF file for driver installation, you 
must name it ssigd.inf and place it in the Drivers folder prior to 
running the installation.

Do not move or alter the directories after unzipping the release 
package.  The installation utility uses relative path information, and 
must be run from the Utilities folder, and also requires the Driver 
folder.  If the folders are moved or renamed, the installation utility 
will not operate properly.

Also, be sure to not install this version of the driver with an 
existing installation of a previous version of the driver.  The 
installation utility will not uninstall previous versions of the Intel 
Embedded Graphics Driver, and you must begin from a fresh operating 
system installation.  Results are unpredictable if you install over a 
previous version of the Intel Embedded Graphics Driver. 

To run the installation, simply run the Setup.exe program located in 
the Utilities folder of the installation.  This must run from the 
Utilities folder. 

If you are running Microsoft Windows NT*, you must instead run 
SetupNT.exe.

To uninstall this version of Intel Embedded Graphics Driver, run the 
Setup.exe program (or SetupNT.exe for Microsoft Windows NT).
