Common problems and solutions

Installation problems

My system hangs during the installation of MGA
Windows 95 PowerDesk.
The installation program might hang during the installation of
MGA Windows 95 PowerDesk if your win.ini file is unusually
large or DOS memory is low. This is because the installation
program runs only within DOS memory and reads this file
entirely into memory.
You might have to temporarily reduce the size of the win.ini file
during the installation of the MGA Windows 95 PowerDesk. If
this is the case, contact the Imaging Customer Support Group
for instructions before you proceed.
My computer beeps, hangs shortly after booting, or will
not boot when I turn on the power.
There are many possible causes for such a problem. Try the
following:
Ensure that the DIP switch SW1, is in its default position
(refer to chapter 2).
Remove any non-compatible display adapters (such as an
EGA or VGA) from your system, and ensure that the
motherboard's VGA is disabled.
