Installing Software
The Oxygen Product CD-ROM for the Oxygen VX1/Oxygen GVX1 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.
