- 4.0 Windows 95 mach64 enhanced display driver problems
-
- - The Windows 95 mach64 enhanced display driver is capable of using monitor
- timing data contained within Windows 95. This data is selected by
- configuring a monitor type at Windows 95 installation time or via the
- "Settings" page of the display properties sheet. If you change the
- selected monitor type via the "Settings" page of the display properties
- sheet the new timing data may not take effect until after restarting
- Windows 95. A solution to this problem is to always restart Windows 95
- after changing the monitor type.
-
- - The Windows 95 mach64 enhanced display driver is capable of using monitor
- timing data contained within Windows 95. This data is selected by
- configuring a monitor type at Windows 95 installation time or via the
- "Settings" page of the display properties sheet. The Windows 95 mach64
- enhanced display driver may incorrectly interpret Windows 95 monitor
- timing data for some older monitors which require interlaced modes.
- This may cause some options to be disabled. A solution to this problem
- is to select one of the "(Standard monitor types)" available via the
- settings page of the display properties sheet.
-
- - In Windows 95, display drivers can be installed via the "Add New
- Hardware" wizard ( although the procedure detailed in section 3.0 is
- recommended ). When the Windows 95 mach64 enhanced display driver is
- installed via the "Add New Hardware" wizard the "Settings" page does
- not get installed into the mach64 display adapter property sheet.
-
- - In Windows 95, Rapid Resuming with the Virtual Desktop on will cause
- loss of the Virtual Desktop. This is because Windows 95 reinitializes
- the video mode on an APM resume. No data loss occurs. The desktop size
- is reduced to the screen size. Windows 95 also reinitializes the video
- mode when windows is restarted on systems with Rapid Resume. Again, no
- data loss occurs and the desktop size is reduced to the screen size.
