Using the diagnostics utility

You can view and test any installed graphics mode at any supported
resolution and color depth by running the Installer program from the DOS
prompt or by running a diagnostics program called M64DIAG.EXE.

Note: Do not run M64DIAG.EXE in a windowed or full-screen DOS box.

Any time you suspect there is a problem, especially during installation,
you should run the above tests. The information provided in the next
section, “Solutions and Explanations for Problems,” will enable you to
solve most problems.

To run the diagnostics utility, follow these steps:

1

In the DOS environment, insert the

PC Compatibility Card–PC Utilities CD into the

CD-ROM drive.

Note: If you have already installed the MACH64 directory on your C drive
you can skip ahead to step 5.

The Installer program’s main menu appears.

Follow the onscreen instructions to install the MACH64 directory on your
C drive.

When the installation is complete, press Esc until you exit the program.
