Installing the Fire GL2 11

Setting the Display Driver to Standard VGA

To avoid possible driver conflicts between your old and new graphics

card, install the standard VGA driver for your operating system. Install

the standard VGA driver before you shut down your computer and

remove the installed (AGP, PCI, or ISA) VGA card.

Note: Installing the standard VGA driver is not required for

Windows 2000.

The applications for which you want to install drivers also have to be

completely installed for Standard VGA - 640 x 480 on your system

prior to using the new software. It is a good idea to do this before

removing an existing graphics adapter as not every application may

permit the configuration of its video mode from the operating system

level.

Installing the Standard VGA Driver for Windows NT 4.0

1. From the Start menu, go to Start > Settings > Control Panel,

then double-click on Display. The Display Properties sheet

appears.

2. Click the Settings tab; then click the Display Type button.

3. Under Adapter Type, click the Change button. The Change

Display window appears.

4. Under Manufacturers, select (Standard display types). Under

Display, choose VGA compatible display adapter.

5. Click OK. You may need to insert your Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM.

6. Click Close and OK as often as necessary to accept the changes.

7. Windows asks you if you want to restart your computer. Click No.

8. Shut down your computer. You are now ready to remove your old

graphics card and install your new Fire GL2 card.
