Chapter 3, Installing Your Matrox Software and Configuring Your Display
Hardware detection
The first time you connect your Convert DVI to your computer’s USB port (and
your computer is on), the Windows “Found New Hardware Wizard” will detect
your Convert DVI hardware. Because the Matrox ConvertUtils Setup program
will automatically install the appropriate drivers for Convert DVI, you must press
ESC or click Cancel to close the “Found New Hardware Wizard,” and then install
your Matrox software as explained in the next section.
¦NoteYour display card’s configuration utility will also detect Convert DVI as
a secondary monitor, and may prompt you to configure your display settings. You
can configure your display settings before or after installing the Matrox software.
For more information on configuring your display settings, see “Configuring
your display settings for use with Convert DVI” on page 17.
Installing your Matrox software
Matrox ConvertUtils Setup installs the Matrox Convert DVI drivers and all the
software required to use your Matrox Convert DVI hardware. Before installing
Matrox ConvertUtils, make sure that the Convert DVI is connected to your
computer using the USB connectors (see “Connecting Convert DVI” on page 8).
To download and install the latest version of Matrox ConvertUtils, visit the
Support section of our website for your Matrox product at
www.matrox.com/video/support.
¦NoteWhen you install the Convert DVI software, the ConvertUtils Setup
program verifies the firmware on your Convert DVI hardware and updates it if
required.
If you connect Convert DVI to a different USB
port (Windows XP only)
If you connect Convert DVI to a different USB port after you’ve installed the
Convert DVI software on a Windows XP system, the “Found New Hardware
Wizard” will appear again. You won’t need to re-install the Convert DVI
software, but you’ll need to use the “Found New Hardware Wizard” to install the
required drivers. When the “Found New Hardware Wizard” opens and asks you if
it can search for the software, select
No, not this time, and click Next. For each
device, select
Install the software automatically (Recommended), and then
click
Next. Repeat this step each time the wizard appears until all the required
drivers have been installed.
