44 Reference Troubleshooting The following troubleshooting tips may help you if you experience problems. Contact your dealer for more advanced troubleshooting information. Basic troubleshooting tips • Check that the card is seated properly in its expansion slot. If the problem still exists, try a different PCI expansion slot. • Ensure that the monitor cable is securely fastened to the card. • Make sure that the monitor and computer are plugged in and receiving power. • If necessary, disable any built-in graphics capabilities on your mother board. For more information, consult your computer's manual or manufacturer. (Note: some manufacturers do not allow the built-in graphics to be disabled or to become the secondary display.) • Make sure that you selected the appropriate monitor when you installed your enhanced driver. • If you use an indoor antenna, you will get the best results with an amplified model. Place it as far away from the PC monitor as possible, to avoid interference. • Splitting the cable or antenna input can reduce the signal quality. For the best reception, connect the cable or antenna directly to your card. • Make sure that your audio card's line input is active (see Windows® Volume Control on page 30).
