Q: How do I change the resolution, color, and refresh-rate on my
Windows 95/98 system?
A: Open the 'My Computer ' folder and select the 'Control Panel' icon. Double-
click on 'Display' then select 'Settings'. A new menu will appear choose 'Color
Palette' to change the Color values. Choose 'Desktop area' to change the
Resolution (screen image size). From the same screen click-on 'Advanced
Proper ties' to access the Refresh-rate.
Q: How do I change the resolution, color, and refresh-rate on my
Windows NT system?
A: The procedure is basically the same as above, for the 95 & 98 system. Except that
you must select 'Test' then 'OK', so that the changes can take affect.
Q: TV-OUT is grayed out on my TV-OUT capable MX. How can I fix it?
A: 1. The MX needs to see real 75 ohms AV input. However, not all TVs have this,
and some have a switch labeled 'Ter minate' next to the AV inputs to turn the
75 ohms off to allow more than one TV to be connected. If you are having this
problem, especially with a smaller or portable TV, then try another TV to see if
this is a problem, or check for a 'Ter minate' switch.
2. According to motherboard vendor this may also be a problem caused by
motherboards using a linear voltage regulator that does not supply enough
voltage to the MX, and therefore there is not enough voltage to maintain TV-
OUT.
Q: My MX keeps on locking up. How can I fix it?
A: 1. Are you over clocking either the MX or your processor? If you are, try clocking
back to normal, leaving the case lids off and under clocking and see if it fixes
the problem. If it does, you need more cooling.
2. Have you assigned an IRQ to VGA in your BIOS? If not, do so.
3. Have you got an IRQ conflict with the MX and another card? The only device
that can have the same IRQ is the 'IRQ Holder for PCI Steer ing'. If so, try
moving the card to another slot (in particular avoid the first PCI slot as this
frequently is forced to share an IRQ with the AGP slot) or assigning a different
IRQ to that slot in the BIOS.
4. Are you running a virus checker in the background? Try disabling it.
5. Try installing the latest AGP drivers for your motherboard chipset if you
haven't got an Intel motherboard.
6. If you have an 'AGP Dr iving Control' setting in your BIOS, try switching it to
'BA' or another value instead of 'Auto'.
