Configuring the Video Display Your system shipped with the video display driver set to display a resolution of 1024 x 768. If you want to change the video display to another resolution, be sure your monitor can support the desired resolution. To change the video display resolution: 1.
See the documentation and files accompanying the installed video adapter and README driver for detailed configuration instructions. For information on using the Display Properties or Display Settings dialog, see the operating system documentation and Help. Correcting Video Display Problems If the system’s video display is black, not synchronized, or distorted after you restart the system, you may have a video configuration problem.
A graphics resolution and color depth has been selected that exceeds installed display memory. Restart the system in VGA mode, then open Display in the Control Panel to reinstall and configure the display driver as described in the video display adapter documentation delivered with the system.
Configuring a CD-Recorder Drive If you purchased a CD-Recorder (CD-R) drive with your system, it was installed before shipment. If you purchased the CD-R drive in place of the standard CD-ROM drive, the driver software enabling it to be used as a standard CD-ROM drive was installed before shipment. To use the CD-R drive to record CDs, you may have to install the CD-R driver software and any associated application software programs.
Configuring a PC Card Adapter If you purchased a PC Card adapter with your system, it was installed before shipment. To use the PC Card adapter, you may have to install the driver software and any associated application software programs. Depending on your system’s configuration, you may have to reserve an interrupt request (IRQ) for a PC Card device inserted in the PC Card adapter.
Service Packs from Microsoft’s World Wide Web and FTP sites free of charge. CAUTION If Intergraph provides a Service Pack through the IBBS or with a product or system, it has been certified against Intergraph hardware as described in the announcement of its availability. If you obtain a Service Pack from any other source, be aware that it may not be certified against your Intergraph hardware.
