Turtle Beach Santa Cruz (VxD) drivers v.4081 for Windows 9x/ME
Ftp filename: s481me9x.zip
Filename after extraction: sc4081me_9x.exe
---------------------------------------------------------------------

DIRECTX
-------
DirectX is required for the Santa Cruz. If you are using an earlier version of
Windows 95, your system may not have DirectX installed. 

We recommend using the version of DirectX that is included on the Santa Cruz 
CD-ROM.

UPDATING SANTA CRUZ DRIVERS
----------------------------
1. Browse to the folder where the sc4081me_9x.exe file is located.
   Double-click the sc4081me_9x.exe file to launch it.  This will uninstall 
   the existing drivers (the applications will not be uninstalled).  You will 
   receive the following WARNING message: 

          "An installation of Santa Cruz Drivers has been detected. 
          InstallShield will now uninstall the drivers and close.  
          Please rerun this install when the install completes."  

   Click OK to complete the uninstallation of the existing drivers.  After 
   the existing drivers have been removed, you will receive the following   
   message:

          "The previous version of drivers have been removed.  Please rerun
          this install after InstallShield closes."

IMPORTANT NOTE!  Depending on the system, you may be prompted to reboot the
system when you first run the downloaded patch (before the drivers have been
removed).  If prompted to do so, reboot, then run the installation file after
the system has rebooted.

2. After the drivers have been uninstalled, you will be prompted to reboot the
   system.  You MUST reboot the system before installing the new drivers.

3. When Windows restarts, the Add New Hardware Wizard will appear - click
   'Cancel'.  Then, double-click on sc4081me_9x.exe to begin the installation
   of the new drivers. 

4. After the drivers are unpacked, the InstallShield Wizard will begin. Click
   the 'Next' button, and follow the InstallShield Wizard prompts. 

5. When the drivers are installed, the InstallShield will prompt you to click
   'Finish' to complete the installation of the new drivers (when the blue
   InstallShield background has closed, the drivers have been successfully
   installed).
