If you experience a problem using a Viper V700 Series board under Windows 98,
there are three possible causes of your problem:
♦
Your application is incompatible with the Viper V700 Series or is not compatible
with Direct3D or OpenGL.

The Viper card not properly installed (seated incorrectly).

Viper drivers are not correctly installed.
Try the following:
⇒
Check your game manufacturer’s specifications to verify its compatibility with
Direct3D, OpenGL and Viper V700 Series.

Shut down your computer and double-check the cable connections. Make sure
that the Viper card is properly seated in its AGP slot.
⇒
Re-install the Viper drivers using the Viper Installation CD.
