Drag Drop Point to an object, press the mouse button, and hold it down as you move the mouse to relocate the object. After dragging an object to a new location, release the mouse button. Shutting Down When you are ready to turn off your computer, follow the shutdown procedure for your operating system to prevent the loss of unsaved data or damage to your software programs. See your operating-system documentation for instructions. Using Video Features Your computer has a Matrox MGA-1164SG 3-D SVGA (super video graphics array) controller. SVGA is a video standard for displaying text and graphic images on a monitor screen. Like other video standards, SVGA supports a variety of video modes. Video modes are different combinations of resolution, refresh rate, and color depth defined by a video standard for displaying text or graphics. (For further information on video modes, refer to Understanding Your Personal Computer.) SVGA provides higher-resolution graphics, faster refresh rates, and more colors than previous video standards, such as video graphics array (VGA). At the same time, SVGA supports all standard VGA modes. To get the best possible image on your screen and to reduce flicker, you might need to reset the resolution and refresh rate of your monitor. You can view and change monitor settings through your operating system. Instructions for doing this are included in a Matrox README file that is provided on the Ready-to-Configure CD that comes with your computer. (There are several Matrox README files on the CD; use the one that corresponds to your operating system.) When you open the appropriate README file, a prompt might appear requesting you to specify Mystique or Millennium. Specify Mystique. Refer to your operating-system documentation for further information on monitor settings. 22 Using Your Personal Computer
