Installing the TerraTec Mystify graphics board driver software 

Introduction  

In this chapter we'll briefly explain how to install the drivers for your TerraTec Mystify graphics 
board. A setup program can be found on the included driver CD.  

Here's how: installing the drivers 

The driver software on your CD includes the following components: 

· 

Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP drivers 

· 

Microsoft DirectX 8.1 

Driver installation 

The setup program 

The installation of the drivers in Windows 9x/ME and Windows 2000/XP is child's play thanks 
to the user-friendly setup program.  

Installing the drivers under Windows 9x/ME/2000/XP 

1.  Install the TerraTec Mystify graphics board on your mainboard (see previous chapter) 

2.  Start your computer 

3.  Boot your Microsoft Windows operating system

*

 

4.  Insert the TerraTec CD in your CD-ROM drive. If the CD does not launch automatically, 

double-click 

“autorun.exe”

 of the CD. This will launch the autostarter of the Mystify 

series.  

Please note: DirectX 8.1 or higher must be installed before installing the driver software. 
To install DirectX 8.1, click on a Mystify 4xxx button on the welcome screen. Next, click the 
“DirectX” button, then “DirectX” again. Follow the instructions which will then be dis-
played. Next, install the drivers, as explained below starting with item 5. For more infor-
mation on DirectX, see section Reference, page 15.  

If DirectX does not launch automatically, double-click dxsetup.exe on the CD.  

5.  Please select the correct button for your graphics board.  

                                                           

*

 When installing the card in Windows for the first time, you will generally be prompted to install the 

drivers when Windows boots. We recommend canceling this process (simply click the "Cancel" button).
