Refer to the following directions and information only if you plan to install additional NVIDIA cards. 2. INSTALLING THE NVIDIA VIDEO DRIVER ------------------------------------------------- Your computer system shipped pre-installed with the graphics software drivers for the following NVIDIA graphics cards: NVIDIA Vanta LT NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64 NVIDIA GeForce DDR ELSA GLoria II NVIDIA GeForce2 MX NVIDIA Quadro2 MXR NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS NVIDIA Quadro2 Pro For your convenience, the following procedures describe how to install the graphics driver software. The Unattended Video Driver Installation as described in 2.2 allows to install the drivers and configure your monitor settings by a single command line. You can also set parameters for a 'silent' installation (no messages displayed during the installation). NOTE: Before installing the NVIDIA video driver, please close all open application programs and disable any anti-virus software running on your computer until the driver installation is complete! 2.1 Menu-controlled Video Driver Installation --------------------------------------------- 1. Click the 'Start' button in the task bar, click 'Run' and then select 'Setup.exe' from the hard drive or CD-ROM directory where the driver files are stored. The 'NVIDIA Install' dialog appears. The NVIDIA installation dialog displays in English if the language of your operating system is not supported. 2. When the 'Welcome' window appears, carefully read the message and click 'Next' to continue. 3. When the 'Setup COMPLETE' message appears click 'Finish' to restart your computer. 2.2 Unattended Video Driver Installation ---------------------------------------- If you prefer to configure your system by command line editing you may install the video drivers and set the monitor configuration of your primary display as follows: 1. Open a command prompt window by clicking on 'Start', 'Programs', 'Accessories', 'Command Prompt'. 2. Go to the directory which contains the NVIDIA device driver (e.g. C:\NVIDIA_DRVS) 3. Enter the following command: SETUP -h"x" -v"y" -b"c" -j"f" -k -s These are the command line options. Please see section 2.3 for valid options: -h"x" Resolution (horizontal) -v"y" Resolution (vertical) -b"c" Color Depth (in bits per pixel) -j"f" Refresh rate (in Hz) -k Force a reboot after a silent installation - must precede -s option in command for system to reboot. -s Silent Installation - no installation messages displayed during installation. Example: For a silent installation of the NVIDIA video drivers, configuring your monitor for 800x600 at 75 Hz, 16 bits per pixel, the command looks like this: setup -h"800" -v"600" -b"16" -j"75" -s Warning! Selecting a resolution or refresh rate that your monitor does not support can permanently damage the monitor. Check the documentation of your monitor and make sure that the monitor supports the selected resolution and refresh rate. 2.3 Supported Color depth, Resolutions and Refresh Rates -------------------------------------------------------- Valid Resolution/Color/Refresh combinations for the command line option vary based on your particular graphics card and monitor.

CHANGING THE VIDEO SETTINGS ------------------------------ Four dialogs in the 'Display Properties' menu allow setting and adjusting the video settings to suit your requirements best. Settings: set resolution and color depth Monitor: set monitor refresh rate Output Device: choose monitors and display refresh rates Display Adapter Information: perform color correction, OpenGL settings and monitor timings To access the 'Display Properties' menu: 1. Start Windows 2000. 2. After Windows 2000 has finished starting, click on the START button, select 'Settings,' and then click on 'Control Panel.' 3. Double-click on the 'Display' icon. The 'Display Properties' window appears. Note: You can also display the 'Display Properties' window by right-clicking the Windows Desktop background and then selecting the 'Properties' option from the pop-up menu. 3.1 Setting Resolution and Color Depth -------------------------------------- Select the 'Settings' dialog in the 'Display Properties' window. Set the resolution and color depth that best suit your requirements and your monitors' performance. Also set the refresh rate for the monitor attached to your display adapter. 3.2 Setting the Monitor Refresh Rate ------------------------------------ Select the 'Settings' dialog in the 'Display Properties' window. Click on 'Advanced'. Next click on the 'Monitor' tab. Under 'Monitor Settings', list the refresh rates available for the selected monitor (listed under 'Display' on the 'Settings' tab). A higher the refresh frequency reduces flicker on your screen. Warning! Selecting a resolution or refresh rate that your monitor does not support can permanently damage the monitor. Check the documentation of your monitor and make sure that the monitor supports the selected resolution and refresh rate. 3.3 Adjusting the Output Device ------------------------------- Select the 'Settings' dialog in the 'Display Properties' window. Click on 'Advanced'. Select the 'Output Device' tab. You can adjust the display of the connected monitor. A. Select the output device you wish to adjust. B. Click on 'Device Settings.' C. Click on the four arrow buttons to center the visible area of the output device. 3.4 Color Correction, OpenGL Settings and Other Options ------------------------------------------------------- Select the 'Settings' dialog in the 'Display Properties' window. Click on 'Advanced'. Select the tab with your graphics adapter's name (e.g. 'Quadro2 MXR'). Click 'Additional Properties...' A. Click on 'Color Correction' tab. Use the sliding bars to adjust the brightness, contract and gamma correction on all color channels or an individual color channel. Settings can be saved as 'Custom color settings.' B. Click on 'Direct3D Settings' tab. Click on the performance and compatibility options you desire. Options can be saved as 'Custom Direct3D settings.' C. Click on 'OpenGL Settings' tab. Click on the performance and compatibility options you desire. Options can be saved as 'Custom OpenGL settings.' D. Click on 'Other Options' tab. Select the proper timing mode for you monitor. 1. Auto-Detect allows Windows to receive the proper timing information directly from the monitor itself. This is the default setting. Note that some older monitors may not support this feature. 2. General Timing Formula (GTF) is a standard used by most newer hardware. 3. Discrete Monitor Timings (DMT) is an older standard still used on some hardware. 4. UNINSTALLING AN NVIDIA DEVICE DRIVER --------------------------------------- This section describes how to uninstall and NVIDIA device driver. These drivers must be uninstalled by a user with Windows 2000 Administrator privileges. Please consult your system administrator or Microsoft Windows 2000 User's Manual for more information on Administrator privileges. 4.1 Menu-controlled Video Driver Un-installation ----------------------------------------------- 1. Start Microsoft Windows 2000. 2. Click Start control bar option, point to Settings, and click Control Panel. 3. Double-click Add/Remove Programs, click NVIDIA Windows 2000 Display Drivers, click Change/Remove. 4. Click Yes when asked if you wish to continue. 5. Click OK when asked if you wish to restart the computer. 4.2 Unattended Video Driver Un-installation ------------------------------------------ 1. Start Microsoft Windows 2000. 2. Click Start control bar option, then click Run. 3. Type the following command, then click OK: c:\winnt\system32\nvuninst.bat Setup will uninstall the driver files and reboot the system when complete. 5. NOTES, KNOWN PROBLEMS, AND LIMITATIONS ----------------------------------------- This README only refers to the generic name for the graphics chip. For example, if you have a GeForce2 MX DVI-D and TV-out board, this is the same as a GeForce2 MX in the context of this README. In order to use the TwinView features on your Quadro2 MXR card your video BIOS version needs to be 3.11.00.14.xx and above. If you connect an analog monitor to the DVI-I connector on the Quadro2 MXR card as the only monitor connected, then attempt to change the display resolution, the system will hang if your bios is 3.11.00.14.xx and lower. Some Intel Indeo video codecs prior to 5.x (notably 3.2) do not correctly play AVI files that contain IF009 (YUV9) data. Symptoms include distorted images and the failure of the Overlay Color Control function. These codecs come installed on many Windows 9x and Windows NT 4.0 systems. The problem can be resolved by downloading a release 5.x or later Intel Indeo codec from the Intel Web site. When using full screen video mirror on a GeForce2 MX or Quadro2 MXR card with two analog monitors connected to the outputs, running video applications will result in a corrupted display when the "Allow driver to select full screen mode" button is checked. When using Lotus applications in conjunction with the desktop manager on a GeForce2 MX or Quadro2 MXR card, if you add the application to the management panel and enable "maximize window to one screen", when next starting up the Lotus application it will still span both monitors with some corruption in the window. Gamma correction is not available in 256-color mode. Display Doctor 6.53 for Windows/DOS from SciTech Inc. does not support the GeForce2 or the Quadro2 chips and therefore the program will exhibit some minor screen distortions when run on these chips. 6.
