an error stating that the display adapter is not
configured correctly.
Explanation:
This problem occurs with AGP video cards in Windows
95
becasue the operating system does not have the proper
support
installed to allow it to use the AGP card.
Solution:
To correctly install an AGP video card in Windows
95, you will need to enable your USB
ports in CMOS and to make sure the following items
are installed:
1. Windows 98 or Windows 95 OSR/2 with USB Support
(or Windows 95 OSR/2.5)
The USBSUPP.EXE update from Microsoft (found on
your OSR/2.1 or OSR/2.5 CD)
2. The latest Direct X 5.0 or 5.2 Drivers (found
at The Microsoft Direct X Web Site)
You MUST install the USBSUPP.EXE file and Direct
X 5 or later in
order to make your card functional. If you have
an older version
of Windows 95 that does not have USB Support, then
you will
need to obtain a newer version of the operating
system.
