Compaq + matrox = ??? Need help!!!

[ALBPM]

I forgot to ask. What IRQ did the G400 end up on after you installed it???????

Done!

I flashed the BIOS and I got the message "BIOS has been programmed 3 times"

I uninstalled and upgraded my drivers to 5.41.008 and BIOS to 1.5-22

Is the TurboGL driver installed???

[Maggi]

right-click the PowerDesk trayicon and see if it has an entry called 'TurboGL Manager' ...

If not, grab it here:

and install it

My english isnt good

You will have to explain what a trayicon is or give me the location of the icon

Thanks for all the help!!!!

[Maggi]

sorry ...

tray icons are those tiny little ones in the lower right corner of your screen - a little left from your clock.

The blue monitor is PowerDesk ...

I tried Quake III with the OpenGL drivers and it runs very good except for when i sidestep...

(I know my english is bad, but you guys understand me, dont you?)

[3dNewbie]

It got the same IRQ number as my last card

I tried using the Matrox DVD player and it worked just fine

[3dNewbie]

How do I install new Matrox drivers???

1.Use the uninstaller
2.Manual uninstall procedure

Graphics BIOS: 1.3-20
Display driver: 4.11.01.1110
Mini-VDD: 4.11.01.1110
Matrox PowerDesk: 5.11.012
DirectDraw/Direct 3D driver: 4.11.01.1110
Microsoft DirectX 4.07.00.0700

[Maggi]

hehehe ... sorry for that, Pauly ...

Hi 3D,

1st update your BIOS ... it's now at rev 1.5-x

2nd extract the drivers

3rd use the uninstaller

4th on reboot point to the location where the drivers are extracted to

5th reboot after installation is finished and be happy ...

[3dNewbie]

I have a dream....
hehe... I hope its that easy

Im going to try it now!
