Problem with new beta drivers for Marvel on W2K

[Massimiliano Cozzi]

Hello :-))

I'm Writing from Italy and not speak (and write) english very well.

I'm have a problem with new driver for Marvel G400 on W2K. Then starting Vid Tools the system response me: "Matrox Video editing Hardware is currently not available. Another Program may be using your matrox video editing hardware etc. etc....."

I'm reinstal al system but this problem is present.

Do you know a solution???

Thanks very Much:-))

First of all: you don't give enough information!

Second: It's a BETA releas!

Don't expect it to work as good as a certified driver or at all!!

Put your bus speed back to 100MHz and multipler to 4.5X and the run the CPU at its rated speed.

This video capture stuff is flaky enough as it is that you don't need to add overclocking problems to the mix!

The AGP port is not overclocked, but i'm test, and not work.....

I don't know if there is a way to see this on the beta win2K drivers, but my initial G200 Marvel board kept thinking it had an RR-G baord as well which prevented the video tools from working giving a message like you describe. In the matrox properties I could find a list box that had MJPEG codec, TV-tuner etc. When my board failed, this box listed two MJPEG items "buit-in" and "RR-G". When working only the "built-in" entries were there.

This was intermittent enough that re-installing drivers and/or OS seemed to fix it, but it enevitably re-ocurred after a rew power off restarts. My only real solution was to RMA the board and the problem has not re-ocurred since.

Do you also have another Matrox board and RR-G? I'm not sure I understood what you meant, but are you saying the beta drivers work in your system with a Mystique and RR-G but you get the "other video hardware" message when you install the Marvel?

Perhaps you didn't completely un-install the RR-G and Mystique drivers or there is a bug in the un-install routine.

I'm reinstalled all system two times.....

I too had this problem with my g400 max and rrg, i cured it by reinstalling the beta 5.06 drivers for the g400....
i hope this can be of some help to some of you...
