As a general rule, you should always update the Heidi driver to match the current display driver. Using a Heidi driver that does not exactly match the version of the display driver may result in system hangs and/or poor performance. For example, the Heidi driver built for Windows NT 3.51 will cause a system hang if used on a system running Windows NT 4.0 and a 4.0 version of the display driver. The OEM Setup for the display driver will copy the Heidi Device Driver, glzihdd.hdi, to your %SystemRoot%\system32 directory. Once 3DSMAX is installed on your system, move glzihdd.hdi from %SystemRoot%\system32 to the "DRIVERS" sub-directory of the 3DSMAX product. For example, if you have installed 3DSMAX to the root directory of your C: drive, you should copy glzihdd.hdi to C:\3DSMAX\DRIVERS as follows: > copy %SystemRoot%\system32\glzihdd.hdi C:\3DSMAX\DRIVERS\. Uninstall Help ============== To uninstall this version of the Intergraph IntenseDrv Display Driver, use the Add/Remove Programs Properties utility in the Control Panel.

If the specific Monitor Type attached to your system is not selected, resolutions that are beyond the capability of this monitor may be available for your selection. If you have not chosen the specific Monitor Type attached to your system, be sure to test an individual resolution before applying it. If you encounter problems, see the "Trouble Shooting" section below. Gamma Correction File Format ============================ A Gamma Correction file must contain a complete gamma correction table as well as a unique numerical identifier and DAC Resolution for verification. An entire valid file consists of 770 lines each containing a single numerical value. The first line contains the unique numerical identifier, or "magic number". This value is 47434446 (a representation of the hexadecimal ASCII code for GCDF; "Gamma Correction Data File"). The second line contains the DAC Resolution which is ten (10). The next 256 lines contain the gamma corrected digital values to be presented to the monitor for Red. These are followed by 256 lines containing values for Green then 256 lines containing values for Blue. These digital values are integers in the range 0 - 1023. A sample excerpt from a gamma correction file is shown below: 47434446 <- Magic Number 10 <- DAC Resolution 0 <- First Red Value 338 388 421 . . . 1023 <- Last Blue Value Context Sensitive Help ====================== Context Sensitive Help is available on the "Intergraph Settings" page, the "Intergraph Monitor" page, and the pop-up dialogs reached from each of these pages. 1. Choose the Display icon in the Control Panel. 2. Select the "Intergraph Settings" or "Intergraph Monitor" page. 3. Select the control for which Context Sensitive Help is desired by pressing the "Tab" key on the keyboard until that control is highlighted. 3. Press the "F1" key on the keyboard. This will cause Context Sensitive Help to be activated. 4. Press the "Esc" key on the keyboard to cancel Context Sensitive Help. The Context Sensitive Help for a button on either the "Intergraph Settings" page or "Intergraph Monitor" page is an overview of the help for the controls on that dialog. To obtain more specific Context Sensitive Help for these items, press the button to display the pop-up dialog; then, activate Context Sensitive Help for the item you prefer. New Features ============ New Hardware ============ - Support for the Intense 3D Pro 3200 graphics series. - Support for the Intense 3D Pro 3400 graphics series. Bug Fixes ========= - Fixed a Lynx III/IV problem with GLPerf hanging intermittently due to an ISR destroying a return address value held in a register. - Fixed a Lynx III/IV problem with two-sided optimized lighting not using up-to-date normals when flat-shading is enabled. Flat-shaded TWave was rendering incorrectly. - Fixed a problem in the display list logic for machines with RealiZmIII geometry accelerators which would cause incorrect display of areas using the polygon stipple feature in OpenGL - Fixed a problem in which triangles were drawn using the incorrect face direction in the Tlogo sample application - DMA completion interrupts were removed for boards with the Sunshine class DMA controller since DMAs can be chained efficiently. - Fixed a problem in the text display logic where an invalid pointer was being dereferenced. - Fixed a problem during the initialization of an OpenGL application that can result in a system hang during a stress test. - For resolutions over 1 megapixel with frame sequential stereo enabled 2 megapixel systems now use the correct number of overlay planes. - Fixed a problem where performance decreased with multiple runs of Viewperf on LYNX IV. - Stereo glasses control now works in frame sequential stereo mode. - Fixed a problem with user clipped primitives not drawing correctly when the user clipping planes changed without the model view matrix also changing. - Fixed a problem with clipped, culled polygonal primitives with polygon offset enabled drawing with material parameters for the wrong face. Trouble Shooting ================ IF YOU BOOT NT AND THE SCREEN DOES NOT SYNCHRONIZE PROPERLY, DO THE FOLLOWING: Reboot the system to NT, but hit the space bar immediately when prompted. Select 'Use Last Known Good' in the Configuration Recovery Menu. This approach assumes the last configuration was a valid configuration, however. If the 'Last Known Good' method does not apply to your case, try the selecting the VGA option from the system boot menu. Selecting this option will boot NT with the VGA driver instead of the GL Display Driver. At this point you can reinstall the GL Display Driver. If all else fails: Reboot the system to DOS and remove the file GLZMPD.SYS in directory %SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS. Reboot the system again and boot VGA mode. Since the Intergraph IntenseDrv Miniport Driver has been removed, NT will use the Microsoft standard VGA driver. Re-install the Intergraph display driver using the display properties page, select the appropriate Intergraph monitor and reboot the system. Following the reboot, select an acceptable resolution using the display properties page. If your system does not have DOS (NT only), and your installation of NT uses the standard DOS file system (FATFS), you may boot from floppy then remove this file from the system drive. If your NT system was built on OS/2, or if your NT resides on HPFS, you may boot from an OS/2 system recovery (boot) floppy and remove the file. If you have an NTFS-formatted system disk, you will need to reload the NT Operating System (you should choose to not reformat your system disk during reinstallation, in order to preserve your software and data).
