## Illinois Driver's Tutor Does not Install Properly

You probably will never need this section; but just in case:
If the setup program doesn't install the Illinois Dirver's Tutor:
Unzip the DrvTutor.zip to Drive:\DrvTutor
In XP Right Click on RunTutor.exe and send to Desktop(create shortcut)
In Windows 9x RightClick on Runtutor.exe and send to DeskTop(create shortcut)
If RunTutor shortcut does not work in Windows 9x; Then RightClick on Tutor.exe and
send to DeskTop(create shortcut)
Sometimes Windows 9x display drivers will not switch from SVGA to VGA properly.
In the shortcut properties use advanced in the program tab; to tell windows to run tutor.exe in msdos mode.

### Using Windows and IF ALL ELSE FAILS

With graphic cards supporting less and less bios graphics; you might need this section today or someday in the future.
First make sure you have the latest video drivers.
For example, I was have trouble getting Illinois Driver's Tutor to go from SVGA mode to VGA mode in Windows 9x.
I installed updated Windows 9x video drivers , and the problem went away.
If using Illinois Driver's Tutor in a non windows environment; you could try "tutor.exe nosplash"
There is a free dos emulator designed for dos games on Windows 9x, Windows NT, Linux and Mac.
It is called DOSBox. Illinois Driver's Tutor runs slightly slow on it. But still does a good job.
Running SVGA title page, ending page, and Sound should be absolutely no problem for it. (Except for the Mac)
You can get the latest version at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net.
If you have Windows, you will find D-Fend useful for DosBox. It is a DOSBox front-end.
(Use google to find it)
How to use D-Fend with DOSBox:
Use the Add with Wizard. Use Browse to Set the Game Exe to Drive:\DrvTutor\TUTOR.EXE
You will want to set the cycles to the highest settings. 10,0000-20,000 cycles.
You may have to choose between speed and sound. When the cycles are set very high in DOSBox the sound is terrible.
Lowing the cycles fixes this. But of course you could simply choose not to turn the sound on at all, and avoid this problem.

### Windows Setup Options

Simply run the "Tutor Setup Options" in the Illinois Driver's group in the start menu/programs.
Or run The TutorSetup.exe in the DrvTutor Director.
Back to Contents

### DOS Installation

If you are using a dos emulator. A 2.88 MB dos Image of Illinois Driver's is provide in DrvTutor.img .
You could format a flash drive and put freedos on it and make it bootable.
Illinois Driver's Tutor could then be unzipped onto the flash drive and ran when rebooted from the flash drive.
There is a way to access the Windows NT NTFS drive from dos. You will need the freeware NTFS4DOS From http:/datapol.de/dpe/freeware.
You can boot to dos from a floppy, flash drive, or cd. Next use NTFS4DOS to access your Windows 2000 or XP ntfs drive.
Remember to use a mouse driver.
Next; run Illinois Dirver's tutor from the hard drive.
Unzip the program to a directory of your choice.
If you are using DosBox; then run DosBox.
To Run type "TUTOR"
I doubt if you would have trouble with the SVGA Title and Ending pages but if you do:
TYPE "TUTOR VGA"
This uses VGA mode for the title page and ending page.
(The Mac DosBox needs this to work properly)
To have Sound in the Title and Ending pages:
"TUTOR SOUNDON"
There are two ways to use different fonts with Illinois Driver's Tutor.
1. Add Font:"FontName" TO command
Example "Tutor Font:Readable"
This tells the program to Readable font in the Tutor fonts directory
2. Set the Environmental variable TUTORFONT to the font you want. The
font can be anywhere on your hard drive. Set it from the command line or
set the environmental variable in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
Example
"SET TUTORFONT=C:\DOS\FONTS\READABLE.F16"
This Tells Tutor that the font to use is C:\DOS\FONTS\READABLE.F16
If you don't tell Tutor to use a font it will use the default font
Win.F16 in Tutor's Fonts Directory.

### Font Capabilities

I have added font capabilities to Illinois Driver's Tutor. This means if you don't like the font used in Illinois Driver's Tutor you can tell the program to use a different font. See Installation details for more info. There are many fonts available in the fonts directory.
I have also include a viewfont program so you can see what the fonts look like. Most of the fonts is just showing off the program. But if you have trouble reading the monitor;try using the READABLE font.
