This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and,
if not installed or used properly,
that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, may cause interference to radio or
television reception.
It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B compliant device in acco
rdance with the specifications
in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a
residential installation.
However, there is no guarantee that interference
-will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
˙
Reorient the receiving antenna
˙
Relocate the computer away from the receiver
Move the computer away from the receiver
˙
Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and the receiver are on different branch
circuits
˙
Ensure that
the card's mounting screws, attachment connector screws, and ground wires are tightly
secured
˙
Ensure that slot covers are installed in all unused slots
If necessary, consult your dealer, service representative, or an experienced radio/television Techn
suggestions.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this

5. FAQ
Q: While installing on my PC
, my computer loses the Vertical Sync.
A:
Please check your monitor’s specifications. Some monitors connect the DDC
signal to ground: Which causes the BIOS not to detect your monitor. Therefore,
causing your MVGA
-NVG11A/P /AL/AT/PT not to receive any data or refresh
rates.
Q:
The image on my monitor keeps on flickering and the driver can't
change the refresh-rate.
A:
The problem is due to a failed DDC monitor detection.
To fix the problem:
1. Chick the right button of mouse in desktop them choose ‘Properties’.
2. Select ‘Settings’ tab
3. Click ‘Advanced Properties’
4. Select ‘Monitor’ tab
5. Click ‘Change’
6. Select ‘
Show All Devices’ and choose your monitor type.
type is not listed, please select one that is similar as possible.
Q: How do I change the resolution, color, and refresh-
Windows 98SE system?
A:
Open the ‘
My Computer’ folder and select the ‘Control Panel’ icon.
Color Palette colors’ to change the
values. Adjusting ‘Screen area’ to
change the Resolution (screen image size). From the same tab click-
‘Advanced… ’ to access the Refresh-rate.
Q: How do I change the resolution, color, and refresh-
Windows NT system?
A:
The procedure is basically the same as the Windows 98SE system. Except that
you must select ‘Test’ then click ‘OK’, so that the changes can take affect.

OUT is grayed out on my TV-OUT capable
NVG11A/P
/AL/AT/PT. How can I fix it?
A:
1. The MVGA-NVG11A/P/AL/AT/PT needs to see real 75 ohms AV input.
However, not all TVs have this, and some have a switch labeled ‘Terminate’
next to the AV inputs to turn the 75 ohms off to allow more than one TV to be
connected. If you are having this problem, especially with a smaller or
portable TV, then try another TV to see if this is a problem, or check for a
‘Terminate’ switch.
2. According to motherboard vendor this may als
o be caused a problem by
motherboards using a linear voltage regulator that does not supply enough
voltage to the
/AL/AT/PT, and therefore there is not
enough voltage to maintain TV-OUT.
Q: My MVGA-NVG11A/P
/AT/AL/AT/PT keeps on locking up. How can I fix
Are you over clocking either
NVG11A/P/AL/AT/PT or your
processor? If you are, try clocking back to normal, leaving the case lids off
and under clocking and see if it fixes the problem. If it does, you need more
cooling.
2. Have you assigned an IRQ to VGA in your BIOS? If not, do so.
3.
Have you got an IRQ conflict with
NVG11A/P/AL/AT/PT and
another card? The only device that can have the same IRQ is the ‘IRQ
Holder for PCI Steering’. If so, try moving the card to another slot (in
particular avoid the first PCI slot as this frequently is forced to share an IRQ
with the AGP slot) or assigning a different IRQ to that slot in the BIOS.
4. Are you running a virus checker in the background? Try disabling it.
5. Try inst
alling the latest AGP drivers for your motherboard chipset if you
haven't got an Intel motherboard.
6.
If you have an ‘AGP Driving Control’ setting in your BIOS, try switching it
to ‘BA’ or another value instead of ‘Auto’.
7.
If you have a VIA chipset,
try enabling AGP4X. We have chosen to disable
the AGP sideband transfer because there have been various system instability
problems due to issues in the design of some motherboards.
Q: The system will hang up when I play 3D game in Win98SE system.

3. Disable ‘Direct3D Acceleration’ to try.

When I install the 5.xx series of drives Windows 9x locks up at the
bootup screen. How can I fix it?
A:
MVGA-NVG11A/P/AL/AT/PT is not sharing an IRQ with any
other devices. If you find that it is, try either moving the device into another PCI
slot, or reassigning the PCI IRQs in the BIOS. In particular, the first PCI slot is
frequently forced to share an IRQ with the AGP slot.
Q:
/AL/AT/PT as the primary card in the
BIOS, my secondary PCI video card is not detected. How can I fix it?
A:
\CONFIG.SYS file to see if you are loading EMM3
you are, remove the line.
Q: Games stutter with my MVGA-
NVG11A/P/AL/AT/PT. How can I fix it?
Go into the System Control Panel, then click on Device Manager, and then
find your CD/DVD
-ROM drive(s) and hard drive(s). Go into each one, c
on Settings and check DMA. This enables UltraDMA.
2. Make sure that Video BIOS shadowing is disabled in your BIOS.
3.
/AL/AT/PT card is not sharing any
IRQs with another card - the only device that can have the same IRQ is the
‘IRQ Holder for PCI Steering’. If you find that the GeForce2 MX is sharing
an IRQ, try moving the card that it is sharing the IRQ with to another slot.
Q:
I get flickering textures in Quake 3 Arena and Windows 9x. How can I
fix it?
A:
Type the following at the console:
˙
/r_ext_compiled_vertex_array 0
˙
/vid_restart
Q:
I can't get my system to work with AGP4X. It only can work in
AGP2X.
A:
1. You must enable AGP in 4X mode in BIOS of motherboard.
2.
You need to confirm motherb
oard have support AGP 4X mode.
3. You need to enable AGP in 4X mode during install VIA 4-in-1 procedure.
Q:
I have 2 jumpers on my VGA card, what for they are? How can I set
