If the software application you are running does not support one of these 3D
APIs, it will not be able to recognize your Viper card, and will not take
advantage of it. Check with the application or game publisher in question
about obtaining a version that will support these 3D APIs.
Viper V770 is not Properly Installed
Check to make sure that Viper V770 is properly seated in the AGP slot and
that the VGA monitor cable is firmly and correctly connected to your graphics
card. For more information, please see Chapter 3,
Installing Your Viper
V770 Board.
Viper V770 Drivers are not Correctly Installed
Check your Windows Device Manager ( Start > Settings > Control Panel >
System > Device Manager ) to determine if all the drivers are installed
properly. The properties dialog for the Display Adapter will show if the driver
is functioning properly. If not, a yellow icon with an exclamation point
appears next to the device driver in question.
Recheck the AGP Jumper Settings
Your card has jumpers used to configure AGP 2X or 4X motherboards. The
factory preset is 2X AGP. Moving any one jumper without properly setting all
the jumpers may result in poor performance with AGP 4X motherboards. See
Chapter 3,
Hardware Installation , for details.
