IBM IntelliStation Z Pro - Applications using DirectX fail in Windows 95

Applicable to: World-Wide

IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6899 systems preloaded with Microsoft Windows 95 contain support for applications that use DirectX. Systems preloaded with Windows 95 are at Release 2 (OSR2).

If a customer is installing a Matrox Millennium adapter in an IBM IntelliStation Z Pro 6899 system that contains a non-preloaded (retail purchase) version of Windows 95 that is not at release 2 (OSR2), DirectX support is not included.

Obtain the DirectX drivers prior to installing the Matrox drivers from the RTC CD provided with the 6899. If the Matrox adapter was purchased separately, DirectX drivers should also be obtained prior to installing the adapters device drivers.

The DirectX drivers may be obtained at the following Internet URL: http://www.matrox.com/mgaweb/drivers/ftp_w95.htm
