Help! Error Message

[Brian Ellis]

Hi!

First time on this forum although I look at the video one a lot.

I recently bought a new computer (PIII/500 MHz/128 Mb RAM) to replace a PII/300/64 which was playing up. As the new one came with a next-to-useless AGP card of unknown make, I decided to change over the Millennium II PCI card from the old computer (Drivers 4.33.045). This works fine except that I get an <FONT COLOR="#ff0000">Error Message "This is not a correct Display Card"</FONT> at each boot-up.

The old display card has been eliminated from the System.

Have found nothing on Matrox site or in recent posts on this forum.

Any ideas, anyone?

Before you switched cards, did you set your display to "Standard PCI VGA adapter"? Sometimes you will get bits and pieces of old drivers left on your system if you don't do this first.
You could also boot to safe mode, and remove all display adapters in the device manager, then reboot and reinstall your Mill II drivers.

Thanks for your reply.

The problem seems to have disappeared now, I think it was due to a queer thing in the Startup menu, headed Matrox. I eliminated all these and it did disappear and then I just called for QuickDesk and it has not reappeared yet. I think there are 5 other lines, one of which may be the cause. This would seem to be a naughty
