After Installing a Video
Memory Upgrade

1 Switch on the PC.

2 When Windows is running, select HP User Tools.

3 Click on the Video Mode button and follow the screen messages to

change the video resolution and the number of colors displayed.

NOTE

If your display (monitor) is an HP Ultra VGA 1600 (D2800A) and you
have the Matrox MGA Millennium video adapter, the 1600 x 1200
resolution may not be highlighted, although it is supported. To select it
you must run the Monitor Selection utility. The following message will
be displayed:

DDC-compliant monitor detected.

Use of monitor program is not recommended.

Test facility is not available.

Are you sure you want to over-ride DDC?

1 Click on OK, then select the D2800A display, save the configuration

and exit.

2 Restart Windows.

3 Start HP User Tools.

4 The resolution 1600 x 1200 will now be highlighted and you can

select it.

Configuration Switches
on the MGA Video
Adapter

There are two configuration switches on the video adapter board.
Normally the settings for these switches do not need to be changed,
both are set to OFF. However, if you need to upgrade the VGA BIOS, you
will need to set switch 1 to ON temporarily to enable the upgrade to be
performed.

Setting switch 2 to ON enables you to work in dual-screen mode. To
work in dual-screen mode you will either need to use a VGA in another
slot, or another Matrox video adapter board for output to second
monitor.

Contact your HP representative for further information about
upgrading the VGA BIOS.
