The manufacturer assumes no liability for any damage, caused directly or indirectly, by improper installation of any components by unauthorized service personnel. If you do not feel comfortable performing the installation, consult with a qualified computer technician. Steps: Turn OFF all powers to your system, including any peripherals (printer, external drives, modem, etc.).
Browse to “X:\MX\Win9x\Jatonagp.INF” (X is the letter of your CD-ROM drive; typically, D: or E:, etc.), and click OK. The display device selected “3DForce2 MX series, nVIDIA GeForce2 MX”, then press on OK button. Close and apply to finish AGP’s display driver installation.

To added a new adapter, make sure the mainboard that has available IRQ for new devices, and there is no conflict between the others. 3. If you try add this video adapter to ALL-IN-ONE mainboards (which video port built-in already), then you have to disable that port first.

Technical Assistance Q: Why is the display shifted or changed sizes when I switch display modes? Explain and Suggestion: Some monitors lack auto-sizing features or just do not synchronize properly to the video board output. In some cases, horizontal and vertical display adjustments may be necessary.

Proceed to correct that, is re-boot the system with a system (Windows® 95) formatted floppy diskette. There are many reasons to causing the system booting-up with un- appropriated steps.
being used. Try re-configuring your application software to use a compatible video mode. If problem persist in windows, load the standard generic VGA driver. The generic VGA driver should function properly with virtually every video board and VGA (or SVGA) monitor available. If that is an unsatisfactory solution, you may have to upgrade to a monitor that supports the desired video mode.

Q3 What does the set-up engine do in a graphics controller? Answer A set-up engine allows drivers to pass triangles in the form of raw vertex information; whereas, most common designs force triangles to be pre- processed for the rendering engine in terms of delta values for edges, color, and texture.
Software 3D is generally used to mean using non-specific (2D) hardware in conjunction with the CPU to render for 3D applications. Some of these techniques allow usable 3D applications when high-powered and/or MMX™-equipped CPU's are employed along with special-case software optimization techniques.
