Installing Software
The Oxygen Product CD-ROM for the Oxygen VX1-1600SW includes Oxygen PowerThreads video driver
software, which lets you set image quality and performance preferences for your card.
This section describes the three software installation processes for supported Windows operating systems.
To uninstall an old video driver
1. If there is an icon for the video card on the taskbar, desktop, or on the Control Panel, select the icon
and then check for an uninstall option. If an uninstall option exists, select the option and follow the
instructions. (To display the Control Panel, click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control
Panel.)
