administrator or Microsoft operating systems User's Manual for more information on
Administrator privileges.

Log off, then choose Turn off computer, then Restart.

6.

Under Microsoft Windows 2000: on the first occasion that you install the driver you will be asked
to reboot a second time so that a dual head driver can be registered for your Wildcat Realizm
card. This will allow you to run in dual head mode with two monitors should you wish to – see the
“Configuring Display Settings” section of this manual for further details. Subsequent driver
installs will only require a single reboot.

7.

Under Microsoft Windows XP: the dual head driver will already be registered and a second
reboot is not required.
