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.
Systems and Networks
Question: Since installing the Oxygen RPM 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: Make sure that you are not using an old graphics board driver,
and that you have uninstalled any graphics drivers other
than Oxygen RPM — 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/tech/index.html.
Solution: You may need to update your BIOS. See your system
documentation for BIOS upgrade information.
Question: I’m experiencing network problems since I installed my Oxygen RPM
card.
Solution: If your Ethernet adapter is ISA-based, there may be a conflict
between it and your Oxygen card. To resolve a conflict:
1. Go to Start/Programs/Administrative Tools and open Windows
NT Diagnostics.
2. Click the Resources tab and select the IRQ button at the bottom
of the panel.
3. If the same IRQ address (found in the IRQ column) is assigned
to the Ethernet adapter and the Oxygen card, go on to step 4. If
they are different, see the next solution.
4. Open the Network control panel and click the Adapters tab.
5. Select your network adapter and click the Properties button. A
setup box appears.
