What is the GlideSwitcher Utility?
====================================================
GlideSwitcher is a utility that allows you to support 
Glide Applications on different products which use 
3Dfx chipsets. 

In normal situations, Glide applications reference a 
driver called either GLIDE2X.DLL or GLIDE3X.DLL.  
Unfortunately, both the 3Dfx Voodoo2 chipset (used in 
Creative's 3D Blaster Voodoo2) and the 3Dfx Voodoo 
Banshee chipset (used in Creative's 3D Blaster Banshee) 
use drivers with the same file names.  So, if a user 
configures a system containing both cards, only one 
card will be capable of running Glide Applications.

To correct this limitation, Creative Labs has developed 
the GlideSwitcher Utility.  This utility consists 
of (a) an Archive module, which checks your system for 
changes in 3Dfx Driver Installations and maintains the
Glide Drivers for both Cards, and (b) a Control Panel,
which allows you to select onto which card your Glide 
Application will run.

Installation           
====================================================
Upon completing this installation of GlideSwitcher,
you will need to perform the following tasks ...

(1) If you are installing GlideSwitcher BEFORE you 
install the Creative Labs 3D Blaster Banshee card --
simply complete this installation.  When you install 
your new 3D Blaster Banshee card, GlideSwitcher
will activate and the Control Panel will install.  

            -- or --

(2) If you are installing GlideSwitcher AFTER 
you've installed your 3D Blaster Banshee and have
discovered your Voodoo2 card no longer runs, we 
aplogize -- your original Voodoo2 Glide drivers have
been overwritten.  Finish this installation and REBOOT 
to start the GlideSwitcher archive module.  Then,
please reinstall your Voodoo2 Drivers and 
GlideSwitcher will activate.
