Installation To install both Matrox PowerDesk and the Matrox display driver, start the included 'setup' program. The setup program first asks you which language you want to use, then to choose between a 'Typical' or 'Custom' installation. With a 'Typical' installation, the setup program installs all Matrox PowerDesk utilities in the default 'Program FilesMatrox MGA PowerDesk' folder. We recommend you use 'Typical'. After PowerDesk is installed, the setup program automatically changes the Windows 95/98 display driver, then prompts you to restart your computer for all changes to take effect. You can customize the installation process by editing the 'mga.ini' file. For example, you can change the default installation path, default driver performance switches, default schemes, and so on. The file is self-documented. This type of customization is for advanced users only. More information For more information on settings, refresh rates etc., see the WordPad file 'online.doc'. This file is included on the Matrox disk, and installed in your 'Program FilesMatrox MGA PowerDesk' folder.
