Solutions  
Try the following:  
Turn off your system and wait a while before turning it on again.  
Verify that any built-in graphics card on your motherboard is disabled and that you have  
removed any other video display card from your system.  
Be sure that your 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 MX card’s bus connector is fully inserted  
into the expansion slot by pressing it firmly and evenly into the slot.  
Verify that the pins of your monitor’s VGA Input connector are not bent and that the  
connector is properly connected to the VGA Out connector of 3D Blaster Annihilator 2  
MX.

re ma ins bla nk e ve n though the c a rd a nd its drive rs ha ve be e n insta lle d.  
Cause  
If 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 MX’s drivers are not specified during the software installation,  
the system installs it as a standard graphics card that does not support Windows 98/Me’s  
multi-monitor feature.  
Solution  
Update the device drivers to 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 MX’s drivers:  
1. Right-click your desktop, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu.  
2. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab.  
3. On the Settings tabbed page, click the Advanced Properties button.  
4. In the Advanced Display Properties dialog box, click the Change button.  
5. In the Select Device dialog box, click the Have Disk button.  
6. Insert the 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 MX CD into your CD-ROM drive.  
7. Follow steps 6 through 13 of the procedure in “Windows 98” on page 7 to complete the  
update.  
You can also try setting 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 MX as the primary boot up adapter in the  
system BIOS.

Othe r Displa y Proble ms  
The monitor displa y flic ke rs or the sc re e n goe s bla nk a fte r Windows sta rts.  
Cause  
Your monitor may not support the resolution or refresh rate that you have set.  
Solution  
Use display settings supported by the monitor.  
To change the display settings:  
1. Restart your system in Windows 98/Me Safe Mode. To do so:  
a. Restart your system and when the message “Starting Windows 98/Me...” appears,  
press <F8>.  
For the resolutions supported by  
your monitor, refer to its manual.  
A list of options such as Safe Mode and Command Prompt Only Mode appears.  
b. Select Safe Mode and press <Enter>.  
2. After your system has restarted, right-click the desktop and click Properties.  
3. In the Display Properties dialog box, click the Settings tab.  
4. Try the following:  
Make sure that the correct monitor is selected.  
Click the Change Display Type or Advanced Properties button. Select the  
Monitor tab and change the setting if necessary.  
Use a lower refresh rate or the adapter’s default.  
For details on this, refer to the topic “Using BlasterControl Display Center” in the  
BlasterControl Help file.  
Lower your monitor’s resolution.  
To do so, adjust the color depth and desktop area on the Settings tabbed page.

1. Click Start, select Programs, select Creative, click on BlasterControl Display  
Center.  
2. Click the Tweak button to start BlasterControl Tweak Center.  
3. Click the Defaults button.
