Problem Not all graphics cards in the computer are fully supported
(Software doesn't work with a certain graphics card, or another
graphics card doesn't work at all)

Cause

may not support all the graphics cards in your computer.

Solution
Under Windows 2000/XP, a display driver may support one or more graphics cards. If a
display driver doesn't support a certain card, a different display driver must be used for that
card. Software that depends on a certain display driver may not work with a graphics card
that's not using the same display driver.
Note:
more information, see the Matrox Web site (www.matrox.com/mga).

Solution
If a graphics card isn't supported, you may need to remove it. If there's graphics hardware
built into the motherboard of your computer that's not supported by your software, see your
system manual for information on how to disable this graphics hardware.
