Getting Ready

To successfully use your new Oxygen VX1 or Oxygen GVX1 card, you must install the card

and the accompanying driver software. Whether you install your new card or the driver first

depends on whether a video card is already present in your system.

If there is a video card in your system: Uninstall the drivers for the existing card, then install

the Oxygen driver. Once the new driver is loaded, remove the old card and install your

Oxygen VX1 or Oxygen GVX1 card. The instructions for uninstalling an old driver and

installing the new driver begin on page 6.

If there is not a video card in your system: Install your new card as described in the Installing

Hardware section, below, then install the driver.

Once the basic installation is complete, you can choose to install the SoftEngine and Colorific

enhancements as described on page 7.

OTE

Be sure to register your new card using one of the options described

on page 8.

Before You Start

• Take every possible precaution against static electricity as you prepare to install the

card: static can damage components. We have included an anti-static wrist strap for

you to wear while installing the hardware: you should also try to work in a static free

area (such as on a tile floor rather than carpet). You might even consider wearing

special ESD, or at least rubber-soled, shoes.

• Save any work in progress and exit any open applications. Always back up your

system before you install new hardware or software.

• Have your anti-static strap and a Philips-head screwdriver ready.
