How do I set-up and configure the Matrox Parhelia video card?
A. Prior to installing the Parhelia card, Matrox recommends installing Service Pack 1 for Windows XP. Required to installing the card, you must install MS .Net framework (available on the Matrox install cd) as well as Service Pack 1 for .Net (available from Windows Update>Windows XP).

Connect the DVI to CRT adapter to output #1 and connect your left-hand monitor to the connector. Plug the CRT/S-Video dual adapter to output #2, connecting your right-hand monitor to the CRT connector and your NTSC monitor to the S-Video plug. 2. When booting into Windows XP, ignore the ‘New Hardware Device Found/Install Wizard’ messages and cancel out of
