4.0 Windows 95 mach64 enhanced display driver problems
- The Windows 95 mach64 enhanced display driver is capable of using monitor
timing data contained within Windows 95. This data is selected by
configuring a monitor type at Windows 95 installation time or via the
"Settings" page of the display properties sheet. If you change the
selected monitor type via the "Settings" page of the display properties
sheet the new timing data may not take effect until after restarting
Windows 95. A solution to this problem is to always restart Windows 95
after changing the monitor type.
- The Windows 95 mach64 enhanced display driver is capable of using monitor
timing data contained within Windows 95. This data is selected by
configuring a monitor type at Windows 95 installation time or via the
"Settings" page of the display properties sheet. The Windows 95 mach64
enhanced display driver may incorrectly interpret Windows 95 monitor
timing data for some older monitors which require interlaced modes.
This may cause some options to be disabled. A solution to this problem
is to select one of the "(Standard monitor types)" available via the
settings page of the display properties sheet.
- In Windows 95, display drivers can be installed via the "Add New
Hardware" wizard ( although the procedure detailed in section 3.0 is
recommended ). When the Windows 95 mach64 enhanced display driver is
installed via the "Add New Hardware" wizard the "Settings" page does
not get installed into the mach64 display adapter property sheet.
- In Windows 95, Rapid Resuming with the Virtual Desktop on will cause
loss of the Virtual Desktop. This is because Windows 95 reinitializes
the video mode on an APM resume. No data loss occurs. The desktop size
is reduced to the screen size. Windows 95 also reinitializes the video
mode when windows is restarted on systems with Rapid Resume. Again, no
data loss occurs and the desktop size is reduced to the screen size.

5.0 Windows 95 property page problems
