Problem: Other device doesn’t work properly after Millennium card is installed

and it’s not necessary for most computers.

Cause – If your game uses a low-resolution (640 × 480 and below), full-screen display mode,
your monitor may not support the refresh rate the MGA driver is using.

dialog box, and then click on the
