CHANGING THE VIDEO SETTINGS ------------------------------ Three dialogs in the 'Display Properties' menu allow setting and adjusting the video settings to suit your requirements best. Settings: set resolution and color depth Output Device: choose monitors and display refresh rates Display Adapter Information: perform color correction, OpenGL settings and monitor timings To access the 'Display Properties' menu: 1. Start Windows NT 4.0. 2. After Windows NT 4.0 has finished starting, click on the START button, select 'Settings,' and then click on 'Control Panel.' 3. Double-click on the 'Display' icon. The 'Display Properties' window appears. Note: You can also display the 'Display Properties' window by right-clicking the Windows Desktop background and then selecting the 'Properties' option from the pop-up menu. 3.1 Setting Resolution and Color Depth -------------------------------------- Select the 'Settings' dialog in the 'Display Properties' window. Set the resolution and color depth that best suit your requirements and your monitors' performance. Also set the refresh rate for the monitor attached to your display adapter. 3.2 Adjusting the Output Device ------------------------------- Select the 'Output Device' tab in the 'Display Properties' window. You can adjust the display of the connected monitor. A. Select the output device you wish to adjust. B. Click on 'Device Settings.' C. Click on the four arrow buttons to center the visible area of the output device. 3.3 Color Correction, OpenGL Settings and Other Options ------------------------------------------------------- Select the tab with your graphics adapter's name (e.g. 'Quadro2 MXR'). Click 'Additional Properties...' A. Click on 'Color Correction' tab. Use the sliding bars to adjust the brightness, contract and gamma correction on all color channels or an individual color channel. Settings can be saved as 'Custom color settings.' B. Click on 'OpenGL Settings' tab. Click on the performance and compatibility options you desire. Options can be saved as 'Custom OpenGL settings.' C. Click on 'Other Options' tab. Select the proper timing mode for you monitor. 1. Auto-Detect allows Windows to receive the proper timing information directly from the monitor itself. This is the default setting. Note that some older monitors may not support this feature. 2. General Timing Formula (GTF) is a standard used by most newer hardware. 3. Discrete Monitor Timings (DMT) is an older standard still used on some hardware. 4. UNINSTALLING AN NVIDIA DEVICE DRIVER --------------------------------------- This section describes how to uninstall and NVIDIA device driver. These drivers must be uninstalled by a user with Windows NT Administrator privileges. Please consult your system administrator or Microsoft Windows NT User's Manual for more information on Administrator privileges. 4.1 Menu-controlled Video Driver Uninstallation ----------------------------------------------- 1. Start Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. 2. Click Start control bar option, point to Settings, and click Control Panel. 3. Double-click Add/Remove Programs, click NVIDIA Windows NT 4.0 Display Drivers, click Add/Remove. 4. Click Yes when asked if you wish to continue. 5. Click OK when asked if you wish to restart the computer. 4.2 Unattended Video Driver Uninstallation ------------------------------------------ 1. Start Microsoft Windows NT 4.0. 2. Click Start control bar option, then click Run. 3. Type the following command, then click OK: c:\winnt\system32\nvuninst.bat Setup will uninstall the driver files and reboot the system when complete. 5. NOTES, KNOWN PROBLEMS, AND LIMITATIONS ----------------------------------------- Note that the driver installation will only list a generic name for the graphics chip. For example, if you have a GeForce2 MX DVI-D and TV-out board, the driver installation will recognize the device as a GeForce2 MX. The NVIDIA Quadro4 200NVS video card that is included in the IntelliStation E-Pro and M-Pro models can support both dual analog monitors and dual digital monitors, but requires two (2) different 'pigtail cables' in order to do so. The dual analog pigtail cable comes standard with all models that include the Quadro4 200NVS video card, however the dual digital cable is only available as a FRU optional replacement part for these models. If a you require the dual digital pigtail cable ('LFH to dual DVI-I' pigtail cable FRU p/n48P7587) you may acquire it by one of the following: Online: http://www.ibm.com/shop/us/maintenanceparts enter '48P7587' (FRU part number of the dual digital pigtail cable) -= OR =- Telephone: (800) 388-7080 follow the instructions to order FRU replacement part, ask for FRU p/n48P7587. In order to use the TwinView features on your Quadro2 MXR card your video BIOS version needs to be 3.11.00.14.xx and above. Some Intel Indeo video codecs prior to 5.x (notably 3.2) do not correctly play AVI files that contain IF009 (YUV9) data. Symptoms include distored images and the failure of the Overlay Color Control function. These codecs come installed on many Windows 9x and Windows NT 4.0 systems. The problem can be resolved by downloading a release 5.x or later Intel Indeo codec from the Intel Web site. When using full screen video mirror on a GeForce2 MX or Quadro2 MXR card with two analog monitors connected to the outputs, running video applications will result in a corrupted display when the "Allow driver to select full screen mode" button is checked. When using Lotus applications in conjunction with the desktop manager on a GeForce2 MX or Quadro2 MXR card, if you add the application to the management panel and enable "maximize window to one screen", when next starting up the Lotus application it will still span both monitors with some corruption in the window. Gamma correction is not available in 256-color mode. Display Doctor 6.53 for Windows/DOS from SciTech Inc. does not support the GeForce2 or the Quadro2 chips and therefore the program will exhibit some minor screen distortions when run on these chips. 6.
