Cause OpenGL applications do not support Windows 98’s multi-monitor feature. Consequently, Windows 98 disables all hardware acceleration when the multi- monitor option is enabled.

Solution Disable the multi-monitor option:

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.Clear the Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor check box.

Cause The “PCI standard PCI-to-PCI bridge” is the CPU chipset to AGP controller, which Windows 95 cannot identify properly.
