[dondule]

Any help is welcome.

[Buuri]

Any detailed info on the problem is welcome.

This is normally due to a conflict of some sort. However it's useful to have the system specs as Buuri stated

[Steve C]

Yeah, system specs but also *when* during the install does the error come up, and any details with the error message?

Cheers,

Steve

I can't speak for the person who made the original post, but this sounds like the same problem I've been having with powerdesk 5.13. It occurs when windows is restarting after the install wizard prompts you to reboot the machine. Just before the windows desktop should appear I get an error message saying: Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer. (No further explanation of the error).
I reboot the machine and get the "Safe Mode" screen. If I choose normal I get the same error message at the same point, if I choose safe mode I can change to standard display driver and the machine will boot normally.
I can remove 5.13 and re-install 4.33c and everything works fine. I have not found a solution or workaround to this problem.
And yes, I un-installed the previous drivers using the "manual" uninstall method before attempting to install 5.13. I also tried reverting back to a 66 mhz bus speed.


System Specs:
Celeron 300 (no "A")@ 376 (4.5*83); QDI Excellent EX motherboard; Productiva G-100 4 meg. AGP; win 95B, 64 meg ram, etc., etc.

Any insight would be welcome, and I would be particularly interested in hearing from other people if they have had a similar problem (as it appears that this is a problem not limited to myself).
Cheers,
Heed.

Yeh Stevec I mean't to ask about the message but called away before I could do an edit. Can't get any peace in my lunch hour.

Sounds like exactly the problem I'm having
with my system ! But before you get all
exited, I don't know the solution either
I posted about this to the "Powerdesk"
section, and got a few proposals
to solve it (thanks maggi), but they didn't help on the long run. Check out my post for the detailed description and system specs!

[Mr.Floppy]

i'm having the same problem!!!
But 5.11 workes fine but when i want to install 6.1 or 6.4 or something i get that error.
What system do you all have?
Anyone knows how to resolve that problem?


Win98
AMD K6-2 450Mhz
64Ram
Matrox G400DH
GA-5AX
ALi Aladdin V AGPset

[The PIT]

It'd be nice to have some system specs. Anyway first question have you used the uninstaller to remove all traces of the orginal matrox drivers?
Have check the website for update Ali drivers?

I have the same problem with pd 6.xx, but if I install VIAs agp driver the problem is solved, but it causes more problems, because i have few years old ss7 mb, so try the latest via/ali agp etc. drivers

my system:
some ss7 mb(not quite sure which, via mvp3)
k6-2 450
g400 dh 32mb
128MB

[Nick L]

the latest matrox drivers work great with my 2 via boards and g200/g400max cards (via agp,irq drivers only)

I love it when people don't realize they are responding to year-old posts

[The PIT]

Liquid Snake try reading. Someone else found this and posted that they had the same problems on October the 28th 2000 that isn't a year ago. True they mave have been better starting a new thread however we're trying to help them out.

[Liquid Snake]

Yeah, I was reffering to the orignal post, not Mr. Floppy's new post.
