Question: When I restart my system, an “Invalid Display Settings” message
appears on-screen, followed by “The default display resolution has
been temporarily used by the system.”
Solution: Within a few seconds, the error messages should be replaced by a
window that allows you to set a display resolution. Pick your
preferred resolution from the list and you should get the sharp
results you expected.

Question: Since installing the Oxygen card, my system either hangs or crashes to
a blue screen when I try to start up, or the system starts up but VGA
graphics don’t display.
Solution: Try to disable “VGA Palette Snoop.” Follow these steps.
1. Remove the Oxygen card and reinstall your old graphics card.
See Chapter 1 - Installation, for instructions.
2. Restart your system and enter Setup at the on-screen prompt.
The key command to enter Setup can differ with each BIOS, so
consult your system documentation if you do not see the
command displayed as the system boots.
3. Disable VGA Palette Snoop, again consulting your system
documentation for its specific location in your BIOS.
4. Choose Exit and Save Settings.
5. Shut down, remove your old graphics card, and reinstall your
Oxygen card.
Solution: Make sure that you are not using an old graphics board driver,
and that you have uninstalled any graphics drivers other
than Oxygen GMX — particularly those drivers provided by other
companies using 3Dlabs chipsets.
Solution: Please see the System Integration Guide in the FAQ section at
http://www.3Dlabs.com.
Solution: You may need to update your BIOS. See your system
documentation for BIOS upgrade information.
