W2k/5.14 Driver Problems - Corruption
Hi, I posted this earlier on Matrox's forum but I thought I'd this a try as well.
I'm having video corruption problem with the Win 2k 5.14 drivers. I can install them fine and on the initial reboot everything looks ok, but on the a subsequent reboot i can no longer change to different color depths and resolutions without screen corruption. It's starts with the desktop icons and gets worse. This problem never occurs with 5.10. I have tried uninstalling/reinstallling with PDUNISTALL, going into safe mode and try eliminate any/all presense of previous G400 drivers to no avail. I also tried the recover util on M's website to reflash the bios but still the same problem occurs.
My system specs below:
Win 2k/Sp1
Asus P3BF 1006 Revision BIOS (Aperture set to 256)
ACPI Enabled and working
G400 MAX
FastTrack
SBLive
Intel 100 Nic
My IRQ's
IRQ Number Device
9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
9 Matrox Millennium G400 DualHead - English
9 Intel 82371AB/EB PCI to USB Universal Host Controller
9 Creative SB Live! (WDM)
9 Win2000 Promise FastTrak66 (tm) Controller (PDC20262)
9 Intel(R) PRO/100+ Management Adapter #3
8 System CMOS/real time clock
13 Numeric data processor
6 Standard floppy disk controller
4 Communications Port (COM1)
3 Communications Port (COM2)
1 Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard
14 Primary IDE Channel
15 Secondary IDE Channel
Can I have a defective card? Kind hard to believe since 5.10 don't exhibit these issues. Sorry for the long post but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
