4
Cause
Your computer’s other BIOS settings may be incorrect.
1
Solution
Reset your computer BIOS settings to the factory defaults using your computer’s built-in
CMOS setup utility. The factory defaults are usually the “safest” settings. Check your system
manual for more information.
Problem
Game for Windows 95/98 doesn’t start or runs slower than normal
(program uses Microsoft DirectX interface)
1
Cause
An older version of DirectX may be installed. The Matrox CD-ROM setup program installs
DirectX, but some programs install an older version of DirectX (overwriting your version).
To see what version of DirectX is installed:
1
Access the Matrox PowerDesk
Information
property sheet (
see “Accessing PowerDesk
property sheets”, page 6
).
2
Look at the
Microsoft DirectX
label.
1
Solution
If DirectX 7.0 or later isn’t installed, install it. Run the setup program from the DirectX folder
of the Matrox installation CD-ROM.
Problem
After restarting computer, Windows 95/98 warns that
the graphics card isn’t configured correctly
1
Cause
