    I just installed a g400 32mb singlehead card into my girlfriends computer. Everything was working fine. I attempted to make a backup of the bios with makedisk. It erased the bios instead. I was able to use my dualhead emergency disk, but only dos and safe mode have video. Windows has garbage. Can someone with a singlehead email me the bios.

    Try the bios recover utility from Matrox.
    I assume that you used an emergency disk made with makedisk.exe. This is a different utility.

    "For G-Series graphics cards only.
    This utility will restore your Matrox Graphics card's BIOS to the factory settings. Please read the readme file before downloading"

      I already tried that. I must have I screwed it up when I used my dual-head bios.

          Thank you for the offer. The computer won't even boot now with the card in it. The the file wouldn't help. I got an RMA and am exchanging it for a new one.
