Removing your Matrox software
Firmware update
When you install Matrox ConvertUtils, the software installation automatically
verifies the firmware on your Convert DVI hardware and updates it if required.
¡ Important To complete the firmware update, your computer must be shut
down and Convert DVI must be powered off. Once your computer has shut down,
unplug Convert DVI from its power source, and then re-plug it before restarting
your computer.
Removing your Matrox software
To uninstall the software for Matrox Convert DVI, choose Start > All
Programs > Matrox ConvertUtils > Uninstall Matrox ConvertUtils
.
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.
Configuring your display settings for use with
Convert DVI
When the Convert DVI hardware is connected to your computer as explained in
“Connecting Convert DVI” on page 7, and the software has been successfully
installed (see “Installing your Matrox software” on page 20), Windows will
detect Convert DVI as a monitor. If you connected Convert DVI to your display
card’s secondary DVI output, in order to see the Convert DVI desktop, you need
to enable the DVI output by extending or duplicating (cloning) your displays.
¡ Important If you connected Convert DVI to your display card’s primary DVI
output (where you would normally connect your main monitor), you do not need
to extend or duplicate your displays because your display card’s primary output is
enabled by default. However, if you will not be connecting a monitor to Convert
DVI’s DVI OUT connector, it’s recommended that you duplicate your primary
desktop.
