  • problem with g400max with nt

    hi all.. just got my g400max from matrox today(after all the frustration from mwave).

    install went well.. finally figured out the dual monitor setup. here comes my problems:

    1) expendable can't be run under nt *stare* anyway around this?

    2) can't get techdemo to run... a message "The procedure entry point DirectDrawEnumeratedExA could not be located in the dynamic link library DDRAW.dll" appears. i have service pack 5.. any idea what the problem is?

    3) my powerdesk is version 4.12 - is version 4.22 compatiable with g400? matrox said it's g100-g200 only.. but i read in some of the messages that you can use it under g400 also.. can anyone confirm this?

    4) i think my bios is 1.3.4.. should i upgrade the bios?

    5) on dual monitor mode.. is there anyway i can make it concentrate on just the main monitor when i hope a program that auto goes to full window(which takes up both windows)?

    sorry for so many questions.. just that i am kinda upset for having so much trouble with the card after waiting for so damn long(pre-ordered it from mwave back in 6/25).

    anyway.. thanx for the info in advance

    1) No. Expendable requires DX6, NT only has DX3.

    2) See 1)

    3) I'm not sure...

    4) Latest bios is 1.5

    5) Multi-monitor is a little weird in NT, it's not really natively supported, so the implementation in the driver is somewhat lacking.
