Matrox Marvel – User Guide 53
Problem Game for Windows 95/98 doesn’t start or runs slower than normal
(program uses Microsoft DirectX interface)
1
Cause An older version of DirectX may be installed. The Matrox CD-ROM setup program installs
DirectX, but some programs install an older version of DirectX (overwriting your version).
To see what version of DirectX is installed:
1 Access the Matrox PowerDesk Information property sheet (see “Accessing PowerDesk
property sheets”, page 21).
2 Look at the Microsoft DirectX label.
1
Solution If DirectX 6.1 or later isn’t installed, install it. Run the setup program from the DirectX folder
of the Matrox installation CD-ROM.
Problem After restarting computer, Windows 95/98 warns that
the graphics card isn’t configured correctly
1
Cause You may have a conflict because of previously installed display drivers.
1
Solution Delete all existing display drivers and reinstall Matrox display drivers:
1 If Windows 95/98 prompts you to start the Add New Hardware Wizard , click Cancel .
(If you start the Wizard, it will
not detect your graphics card.)
2 Right-click the My Computer icon on the Windows 95/98
desktop.
3 Click Properties Æ Device Manager .
4 Click the plus sign next to Other devices (if it appears) and
Display adapters .
5 Delete all listed display adapters (click each, then click
Remove ), then click OK .
6 Restart your computer and reinstall the Matrox display drivers
(see page 19).
