3. Display Driver Automatic Driver Installation The support CD with the V8170 Series VGA card supplies three important system drivers: the Display driver, Microsoft DirectX and the VGART driver. The Display driver coordinates the software to support a particular system, and supports the display hardware and its configuration parameters. DirectX permits 3D hardware acceleration and MPEG audio-video support for Windows 98/ME/2000/XP. The VGART driver supports AGP functions unique to the particular chipset supplied with each motherboard. NOTE: The screen displays in this manual may not reflect exactly the screen contents displayed on your screen. The contents of the support CD are subject to change at any time without notice. 1. Boot-up the Windows system. If installing the ASUS VGA card with an existing system, disable any VGA card currently in use: refer to "how-to" instructions on page 11 for Windows 98/ME, and on page 13 for Windows 2000/XP. 2. Insert the VGA Drivers support CD. If the previous display driver was uninstalled, or there is no display driver, the system automatically detects and installs the new Display Driver from the CD ROM. Otherwise, a menu displaying three options pops up. To install all drivers simultaneously, select the first option, Install Display Driver. The system automatically copies and installs the Display Driver inf file from the CD ROM. In Windows 98/ME, the PC should reboot automatically; in Windows 2000/XP, reboot the system after the files have installed. Note: always choose this installation option unless making updates or replacing a VGA card. 3. DirectX and the VGART drivers may be installed individually. Select this option when it is necessary to update drivers for new cards. Click on the box and follow the screen instructions. Reboot the PC. 3. DISPLAY Driver Installation 12 ASUS V8170 User's Manual
