Installing Software
The Oxygen Product CD-ROM for the Oxygen GVX210 includes Oxygen PowerThreads video driver software,
which lets you set image quality and performance preferences for your card. It also includes the Soft Engine
AutoCAD accelerator and productivity tool package, and Colorific screen-to-print color matching software.
Installing Soft Engine on your AutoCAD equipped system will improve graphics performance by up to four
times, while Colorific painlessly ensures that what you see is what you print.
This section describes the three software installation processes for supported Windows operating systems.
To uninstall an old video driver
1. If there is an icon for the video card on the taskbar, desktop, or on the Control Panel, select the icon
and then check for an uninstall option. If an uninstall option exists, select the option and follow the
instructions. (To display the Control Panel, click the Start button, point to Settings, and click
Control Panel.)
2. If an uninstall option does not exist, click the Start button, point to Settings, and click Control
Panel.
3. Double-click the Add/Remove Programs icon.
4. Click the name of the video card driver you want to remove.
5. Click Add/Remove and follow the instructions.
To install the Oxygen Windows NT driver
1. Start up Windows. If you are running Windows NT, log onto an account with administrator
privileges.
2. Place the Oxygen Product CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive. When the installation window opens,
choose the Oxygen driver installation.
3. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen. (Be sure to read the software license agreement.)
4. Restart your system at the prompt.
To install SoftEngine
Soft Engine works exclusively with AutoDesk’s AutoCAD R12, R13, R14, and LT software. Install Soft
Engine if you use one of these AutoCAD programs. Do not install Soft Engine if you do not use one of
these AutoCAD programs; it will have no beneficial effect.

choose Install Soft Engine. A menu appears.
2. Select your AutoCAD product type to start the installation.
3. Follow the instructions that appear on your screen.
