Software installation
This section describes how to install Matrox
software for
Windows 2000/XP or NT 4.0 .
You may need administrator rights to install
certain software. For more information, see
Windows documentation.
1 Install display driver
Windows detects new hardware when you restart. If Matrox display drivers haven’t been
previously installed, Windows prompts you to install a display driver. Follow the on-screen
instructions. (The Matrox Windows 2000/XP display driver is in the
Win2kXP folder of your
Matrox installation CD-ROM.)
If you want to use TV output, you need to enable the feature when you install the display
driver. For more information on TV output, see “TV output”, page 14.
After the required display software is installed, you’re prompted to restart your computer for
changes to take effect.
2 Install optional software
After your computer has restarted, insert (or reinsert) the Matrox installation CD-ROM in
your CD-ROM drive – the setup program automatically starts.
*
The setup program shows
you a list of additional items you can install. For each item you want to install, select a list
item, click
Install , then follow the on-screen instructions.
3 Set up your display software
See “Display setup”, page 9.
Note: This guide has references that are specific to the Matrox installation CD-ROM. If your Matrox
product wasn’t packaged by Matrox (for example, if it was included with your computer), your
product may not include this CD-ROM.
If you don’t have this CD-ROM, certain references in this guide may not reflect the software you
have. For more information, see other software documentation provided by your system vendor.
* If Windows doesn’t automatically start the setup program, you can start it manually from the root folder of the CD-ROM.
