Troubleshooting

If you have trouble using your Oxygen VX1-1600SW card or a 3D application, you may find the answer to

your problem in the following sections. Always start your problem- solving efforts with the simplest solution

and work up to the more complex ones.

Monitors and Display Resolutions

Question: My monitor is either blank, or the displayed image is distorted, scrambled or smaller than

I expected.

Solution: If the monitor is blank, be sure that your system and monitor are plugged in and turned on.

Is the monitor’s power cord attached securely? Check each component’s documentation for

the location and use of power connectors and switches.

Solution: Make sure that your video cable is connected securely to the monitor

and

to the monitor

connector on your Oxygen card. See your monitor documentation and Chapter 1 -

Installation, in this document.

Solution: Your card might not be seated properly in the PCI slot. Remove and reinstall your card as

described in Chapter 1 - Installation

Remember to use an anti-static wrist strap when

opening your system and handling the card.

Solution: If you have multiple Oxygen cards installed, try connecting the monitor cable to one of the

other Oxygen cards and then refer to the section "Monitor Screen” on page 17.

Question: The performance of and/or the available resolutions for my Oxygen card are not what I

expected.

Solution: The Oxygen driver may not have installed fully, or a file may have been corrupted. Try

installing the driver again.

Solution: You may have selected a display setting that is incompatible with accelerated 3D graphics

applications. See the Monitor Screen in your 3Dlabs display control panel for a list of

compatible resolutions. Monitor screen information appears on page 17 in this guide.

Solution: If the performance is different from what you expected, check to see that the correct

application or setting has been selected in the Optimized Application Setting in the Taskbar

Based Configuration Manager.

Solution: If the performance is different from what you expected, check to see that the

Wait for VBlank

setting has been set correctly in the Display Control Panel under Direct3D Support or

OpenGL Support.

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 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.
