You will be prompted for the products to install: Windows Drivers and PowerDesk

DynaView for Windows if you don’t have AutoCAD for Windows installed.

Once you have selected what you want to install, the installation program will prompt you
for the various paths in which to install each product. Next, the MGA software installation
program will run (bar graphs indicate the progress of the installation). A new Windows
group called
MGA PowerDesk
will be created.
Select a monitor

If this is a first time-installation, the
Monitor Selection
program will ask you to select an
appropriate monitor. If your monitor is Plug-and-Play (VESA DDC-compliant), you won’t
have to specify a monitor; otherwise, please select one at this point to prevent the driver
from starting up in a resolution not supported by your monitor. The Monitor Selection
program is explained in its Help file (click on the
Help
button in the program).
If you are updating one of our older drivers, then the
Monitor Selection
program will not
start, but the installation program will ask you if you wish to keep your present
mga.mon
file, in case you have customized the file for a particular monitor. If you have not customized
the
mga.mon
file, click on
YES
to overwrite it with the new version.
Select a start-up mode

Next you must select a start-up display mode for Windows. The range of resolutions and
colors available to you is limited by the amount of RAM on your Millennium card. Choose
a combination of one of the available resolutions and pixel depths. You are indicating to
the MGA software how it should present Windows the first time you run it. Later, you’ll be
able to make the same kind of selections using the
MGA Control Panel
program.
