1
Install hardware drivers
Windows detects the hardware in your Matrox Extio unit as soon as the connection between
the interface card and the unit is established. Depending on the version of your Matrox
product, the drivers you need to install vary. If drivers for the hardware in your unit haven’t
been previously installed, Windows prompts you to install a driver for each component.
Follow the on-screen instructions. (The Matrox 32-bit and 64-bit display drivers are in the
Win2kXP and WinXP64 folders of your Matrox installation CD-ROM.)

Install optional software
After your computer has restarted, insert (or reinsert) the Matrox installation CD-ROM in
your CD-ROM drive – the CD-ROM installation program automatically starts.
*
This
program shows you a list of items you can install and information you can access. Follow the
on-screen instructions.
Note:
This guide has references that are specific to the Matrox installation CD-ROM. If your Matrox
product wasn’t packaged by Matrox (for example, if it was included with your computer), your
product may not include this CD-ROM.
If you don’t have this CD-ROM, certain references in this guide may not reflect the software you
have. For more information, see other software documentation provided by your system vendor.
Note:
Windows XP SP2 (Service Pack 2)
– Windows may install a Matrox display driver
unsupported by your product when the hardware in your unit is detected. If you aren’t
prompted to install a display driver,
DON’T RESTART
your system. Manually install the
display driver on your Matrox installation CD-ROM before you restart.
* If Windows doesn’t automatically start the setup program, you can start it manually from the root folder of the CD-ROM.
