Windows 95 FAQ

. Q: Where can I find drivers for the MGA Millennium?
. A: There is a driver on the Windows 95 CD ROM in the
\DRIVERS\DISPLAY\MATROX directory. If you did not receive Windows 95
drivers with your Millennium, you can also obtain our Powerdesk drivers
for Windows 95 from our BBS or from Compuserve.

. Q: Where can I find drivers for other MGA products?
. A: Drivers for other MGA products are included with Windows 95 and are
installed automatically.

5. Q: Are the PowerDesk for Windows 3.1 features compatible with Windows
95?
6. A: No. After upgrading from Windows 3.1 to Windows 95, you cannot use
the programs in the Windows 3.1 PowerDesk group. We actually recommend
that you uninstall the MGA software prior to upgrading to Windows 95. If
you install Windows 95 over Windows without first uninstalling the old
MGA software, you should delete the PowerDesk group folder and all its
icons, then install the Windows 95 version of the MGA software.

7. Q: I start Windows 95 and my monitor does not sync properly. What can I
do?
8. A: This probably happens because the MGA driver is trying to boot in a
resolution that your monitor does not support. This could occur if you
had never selected a monitor, or if you physically changed your monitor
without informing Windows 95 (or the MGA Monitor Program).

To recover from this problem, reboot your system (by pressing Ctrl-Alt-
Del twice). When the screen displays "Starting Windows 95", press F5 to
enter Windows 95 in "safe mode". In this mode, Windows 95 will boot in
VGA at 640 x 480, and you will then be able to lower the resolution in
the Display Properties dialog box. Pull it down to 640 x 480 and reboot
again to get a display of 640 x 480 in Millennium mode. Then take the
appropriate actions to check and correct your monitor type.

9. Q: I have a problem with an application that I suspect is caused by the
display driver. What should I do?
10. A: You can try using the application with the standard VGA driver, or
alternately, try using the Millennium driver, but with hardware
accelerations disabled (see below).

To restart in VGA mode, simply open the Display Properties dialog box
(right-click on the desktop background), and change the Display Type to
VGA. You will have to reboot.

To restart using the Millennium driver with hardware accelerations off,
click on the System application in the Windows 95 Control Panel, then go
to the Performance page. Select Graphics, then move the Hardware
Acceleration bar to None. You will have to reboot as well, but you will
still have the same Display area and Color Palette. This is often better
than using standard VGA, as some applications exhibit problems,
specifically in High Color or True Color modes.

11. Q: Windows 95 reports a display adapter hardware conflict upon booting.
I thought Windows 95 was Plug and Play! What can I do?
12. A: This does sometimes happen. If you have changed display adapters,
especially non-PCI ones, you should let the Windows 95 hardware detection
program take the appropriate steps as suggested; this might solve your
problem.

If you have not changed any adapter, running this program is of no use.
Instead, run the System application in the Control Panel, then select
Device Manager, then Display Adapters. If you can't solve the problem
here (or if no problem is reported), try re-installing the Millennium
driver from the original diskette. To do this, open the Display
Properties window, click on Change Display Type, then re-select the MGA
Millennium.

13. Q: Can I use the Millennium Multimedia Superpack CD-ROM under Windows
95?
14. A: The versions of 3D-FX and the MPEG player included with version 1.0
of the SuperPack do not work correctly with Windows 95. Updates for 3D-FX
may be downloaded from our BBS or WWW/FTP site. Updates for the MPEG
player will be available at a later date.

15. Q: Can I uninstall the MGA PowerDesk for Windows 95 software?
16. A: Yes, but not by using the standard Windows 95 Install/Remove
Applications in Control Panel, since PowerDesk is so fully integrated
with the display driver. Here is what you must do (this should only be
attempted by advanced users):

17. Make sure you are not using a Desktop area that is larger than the
Display area (look on the MGA Settings sheet in the Display
Properties dialog box).
18. Run \Matrox\Millen\Paneloff.reg to remove the MGA Settings page.
19. Edit \windows\win.ini to remove mgactrl.exe from the load= line.
20. Remove the MGA Millennium PowerDesk folder from the Programs flyout of
the Start menu, then delete the \Matrox directory structure.
