    ARGH!!!
    I had my system working good with the 5.30 Powerdesk and the V1.50 Video tools. I did the uninstall of the old Matrox stuff for my Marvel G400. I then installed the 5.25 Powerdesk. I of course used the unistall program from matrox and rebooted each time. And I installed the V1.51 Video Tools Version. Now I have problems with shutdown where I get thatt damned BSOD (I would think everyone knows this as that dreaded 'Blue Screen Of Death'). SO I ended up screwing myself by taking out my 5.30 and putting in the older 525 powerdesk drivers. And upgrading the Video Tools from V1.50 to V 1.51. I went from everything working prewtty good to shut down problems where I have to just nuke it with the reboot when it goes to that blue screen and freezes there during a windows shutdown-reboot. Maybe it will fix itself in a few re-boots. I have Norton Utilities (which has always worked excellent for me) and it doe snot show any problems (and it fixes problems and finds problems when they exist, always works good). Bottom Line is: The upgrade screwed up my computer.....ARGHHH!!!!! Anyone know why we went from Powerdesk 5.30 to 5.25, backwards? *&*!!

      Well, got all those problems straightened out after the software upgrade. Hopefully someone can explain why Matrox goes backwards with the upgrades, moved my Vidoe tool from V 1.50 to V 1.51. But, changed my Drivers from V 5.30 to V 5.25. Matrox Marvel G400. I have done some video work where I took some VCR 8MM tapes I made in the 1980's and converted them to MPEG-1 with the Matrox Marvel and then using the Ligo S/W. Stil have more work to do but everything is working good. So.

          I've tried new VidTools both with PD 5.30 and 5.25 (Oct 19 revision): all seems ok with both of them.

          Ant, BUT I' DIDN'T FIND TELETEXT YET!!!

          Do you know something about TELETEXT???

            Trying to find out, all I can say is that I haven't got the version that came with my Marvel G400 to work.
