Problem with AGP

Aperture Size

Changing settings in CMOS incorrectly can cause the system to stop functioning.

Some of the steps from step 3 onwards may not apply to your system’s CMOS. Refer to your system’s CMOS documentation for more details.

Solution No action required.

A conflict between the AGP video controller and the “PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge” in the Windows 95 Device Manager does not affect the functionality of the AGP card within Windows 95. This problem is common to all AGP graphics cards and does not affect Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT2 Value’s functionality. It has been resolved in Windows 98.
