5.0 Windows 95 mach64 enhanced display driver problems
|
|
|
|
- The Windows 95 mach64 enhanced display driver is capable of using monitor
|
|
timing data contained within Windows 95. This data is selected by
|
|
configuring a monitor type at Windows 95 installation time or via the
|
|
"Settings" page of the display properties sheet. If you change the
|
|
selected monitor type via the "Settings" page of the display properties
|
|
sheet the new timing data may not take effect until after restarting
|
|
Windows 95. A solution to this problem is to always restart Windows 95
|
|
after changing the monitor type.
|
|
|
|
- The Windows 95 mach64 enhanced display driver is capable of using monitor
|
|
timing data contained within Windows 95. This data is selected by
|
|
configuring a monitor type at Windows 95 installation time or via the
|
|
"Settings" page of the display properties sheet. The Windows 95 mach64
|
|
enhanced display driver may incorrectly interpret Windows 95 monitor
|
|
timing data for some older monitors which require interlaced modes.
|
|
This may cause some options to be disabled. A solution to this problem
|
|
is to select one of the "(Standard monitor types)" available via the
|
|
settings page of the display properties sheet.
|
|
|
|
- In Windows 95, display drivers can be installed via the "Add New
|
|
Hardware" wizard. When the Windows 95 mach64 enhanced display driver
|
|
is installed via the "Add New Hardware" wizard the "Settings" page does
|
|
not get installed into the mach64 display adapter property sheet. A
|
|
solution to this problem is to use the driver installation procedure
|
|
described above.
