\par Note:
\par \plain\f2\fs20 This Edition of Generic PowerVR Drivers (4.1.1c2) has been edited to add the addtional "\plain\f2\fs20\b Advanced Features" 
\par \plain\f2\fs20 for the Matrox m3D card since Matrox's own drivers (4.1.1.5) will not allow this due to a so called "Microsoft Certification"
\par 
\par If you already own a Videologic Apocalypse 3Dx there is no need to install these drivers.
\par 
\par There are a number of "Advanced Feature" settings already added to this installation. The settings are exact 
\par copies from Videologics own Drivers and recommendation of settings from their own Web Site.

\par \pard\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 
\par \pard\tx255\tx567\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\cf0\b Installing games
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\cf0 Some DirectX games currently on the market are supplied with DirectX 2. If the game's installation forces DirectX 2 to be installed, you should reinstall the latest version of DirectX from the Microsoft Web Site.
\par 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\cf0\b Microid Research BIOS
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\cf0 Some PCs with an MR BIOS can give a much lower frame rate with PowerVR. Switching to another BIOS can greatly enhance performance.
\par 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\cf0\b 16-bit Color
\par \pard\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 To avoid problems with the Start menu and Windows menus containing corrupted text, or missing text, you should set your display mode to a high-color \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\cf0 palette, of at least 65,536 colors (16-bit).\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20

\par \pard\tx255\tx567\tx851\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\cf0 
\par \pard\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b Introduction
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 This section describes common problems you may encounter when installing or running PowerVR.
\par 
\par \pard\li1134\fi-1134\tx1134\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b Problem:\tab The application display is corrupted.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution: \tab Your graphics system may not support the required DirectX version. Reinstall DirectX. You can get this from your computer supplier or from Microsoft.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 \tab If the problem persists, contact your graphics card vendor.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b 
\par Problem:\tab The Start menu and Windows menus contain corrupted text, or text is missing.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution:\tab After playing a game in 8-bit display mode, your computer has changed from 8-bit to 16-bit display mode automatically, which your display driver may not be able to support.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 \tab Restart your computer in 16-bit mode. Refer to the documentation supplied with your graphics card if you need help with this.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 \tab To avoid this problem in future, you should always be in a 16-bit display mode before playing a game.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b  
\par Problem:\tab When running an application that uses PowerSGL or Direct3D, the system freezes or restarts.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution:\tab You may have installed PowerVR into a PCI bus slot that does not have bus-mastering capability.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 \tab Install the card into a slot that supports bus-mastering.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution:\tab Try changing the 3D Acceleration to Standard on the PowerVR Display Properties page.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b 
\par Problem:\tab I am not given the D3D Hal option with the D3D demos.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution:\tab Ensure that you have the DirectX 5 graphics drivers installed, and that your computer is in a display mode greater or equal to 16 bits per pixel (65,536 colors).
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution:\tab If your system received an Invalid Page Fault or a General Protection Fault, restart your system.
\par 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b Problem:\tab When running an application that uses PowerSGL the system restarts.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution:\tab The display driver may not support buffer flipping. To support flipping the amount of free off-screen memory must be greater than the current on-screen memory. 
\par 
\par \tab A lower screen resolution may free up sufficient memory, however, due to other graphics memory requirements (e.g. hardware cursors), 1 MB cards may not support flipping even in a resolution of 640x480 pixels with 16-bit (65,536) colors. This is why we recommend a minimum graphics memory of 2 MB.
\par \plain\lang1033\f5\fs20\b 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b Problem:\tab D3D applications will not work in 1024 x 768 with my Matrox Millenium II graphics card.\plain\lang1033\f5\fs20\b 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution:\tab This is a problem with the Matrox Millenium II memory handling. Matrox are currently looking into this.
\par 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b Problem:\tab The Use Hardware Accelerator option within an application is grayed out.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution:\tab The application is currently set to run in a graphics resolution that cannot be accelerated by PowerVR. Setting the application's graphics mode to a lower resolution mode makes the check-box available. 
\par 
\par Solution:\tab PowerVR is not being recognized by the system. If you have sufficient technical knowledge, check that it is in System Properties, check the BIOS, IRQ allocations etc.
\par \pard\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b 
\par \pard\li1134\fi-1134\tx1134\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b Problem:\tab Mouse control in D3D applications is very jerky.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution:\tab Try setting the 3D Acceleration in the PowerVR Display Properties page to Standard.
\par 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b Problem:\tab When using PowerVR with AWARD BIOS and the S3 968 or 868 chipset the system crashes.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution:\tab Try changing the memory allocation for the PowerVR card to a range outside the 64 MB used by your graphics card.
\par 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b To change the memory allocation:
\par 
\par \pard\li567\fi-567\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 1.\tab Click the Start button, point to Settings and click Control Panel.
\par 
\par 2.\tab Double-lick the System icon.
\par 
\par 3.\tab In the System Properties dialog box, click the Device Manager tab.
\par 
\par 4.\tab Double-click Sound, video and game controllers.
\par 
\par 5.\tab Click PowerVR.
\par 
\par 6.\tab Click Properties.
\par 
\par 7.\tab In the PowerVR dialog box, click the Resources tab.
\par 
\par 8.\tab Clear the Use automatic settings check box.
\par 
\par 9.\tab In the Resource settings list, double-click the first (top) Memory Range.
\par 
\par 10.\tab In the Value box of the Edit Memory dialog box, type in the range FFBE0000 - FFBEFFFF, and click OK.
\par 
\par 11.\tab In the Resource settings list, double-click the second (bottom) Memory Range.
\par 
\par 12.\tab In the Value box of the Edit Memory dialog box, type in the range FF400000 - FF7FFFFF, and click OK.
\par 
\par 13.\tab At the PowerVR dialog box, click OK.
\par 
\par 14.\tab At the System Properties dialog box, click OK.
\par 
\par 15.\tab Restart your PC.
\par \pard\li1134\fi-1134\tx1134\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 
\par \pard\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 You should not have to reconfigure the memory settings again as Windows 95 will remember the new settings every time it starts up and reallocate the memory automatically.
\par 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b Memory Allocation Conflicts\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 
\par The above steps assume that there is no memory allocation conflict due to devices present at the addresses you specified. To ensure there is no conflict, follow steps 1 to 7 above. If, in the Resources tab, the Conflicting devices list says 'No conflicts.', your PowerVR is ready to use.
\par \pard\li1134\fi-1134\tx1134\plain\lang1033\f2\fs24 
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20\b Problem:\tab When using a Matrox display card, my computer hangs when a Direct3D game goes into full screen.
\par \plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution:\tab Update your Matrox display drivers to v3.70 or later.
\par 
\par \pard\li1170\fi-1170\tx1134\tx1170\plain\lang1033\f2\fs20 Solution:\tab If using earlier drivers, set the 3D Acceleration section of the PowerVR Display Properties page to Standard.
