2 - Delete Matrox Video Tools folder in Program Files
3 - Delete following keys in the Registry

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Matrox\PC-VCR
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Matrox\PC-VCR
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Matrox\RainbowRunner
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Matrox\RRPath

4 - Restart PC
5 - Delete following files from C:\WINDOWS\system32
RRAPI.dll
RRIcm.dll
RRIcmExt.dll

GLJ8tmp - Unable to Locate DLL

The dynamic link library MSVCP60.dll could not be found in the specified path C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp;.;C:\WINNT\Syst em32;C:\WINNT\system;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\system32;C: \WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem.

right at the end of the install, then it gives that message like 5 more times and says finished. if you try to open pc-vcr it again gives the same message and does not open.

ok I got your driver to work adis, but my bios is tweeked still. the system thinks the card is a millenniumg400dh when in fact it is a marvelg400tv! I need the origional bios with flash utility to get this card working correctly again. if you know how to do that and have the correct bios, let me know. thanks.

How VT works ?

[Hpar_]

VT works good but the cable channels it would not scan, or it is hung or something. the mjpeg does not work and it will not until I get the bios situation settled. I am almost positive I can get the mjpeg to work once I get that bios thing figured out. can you play back video files with it too? and can you pause and capture still frame images?

do you know a way to force the bios with a switch using progbios??

PROGBIOS -i <basename-version>.bin -s mypins.txt -k

and I am not sure exactly which bin file I need. I was thinking
935-20.bin but I think if I want tv out support I need 900-33TV.bin

I am studying this page right now:

"dead bios recovery" but this is not a dead bios, it is a confused bios.

thanks.

I need progbios 1.73

-k Force programming even if old BIOS checksum error occurs (but not PINS error). Doesn't work properly in PROGBIOS above 1.73 !!!

-k1 ??? (My guess: force programming anyway.)





I need progbios 1.73 if I want to force correctly it says.

Yes, I can

Maybe you can solve the problem with "Restore BIOS"

You can download it from here (last on downloads list)

Try to restore BIOS and than update it to latest
by running PBiosWin.exe (System Utilities 2.57.001)

[Adis]

Did you solved BIOS problem?

[Hpar_]

bios problem still not solved!

I think obtain a bin of the marvel g400 tv made with that version of the matrox emergency bootdisk and just rename and replace MGA.BIN on that boot floppy and try to recreate what happened with the correct bios made from an emergency boot disk. that seems like it would work but I need an emergency bootdisk bin file. anyway, I will try that as soon as I get the bin file.
