No chance to change the Matrox Monitorsettings

[Lars]

Hello,

I'm having here the Problem to change something in the Matrox Monitorsettings. Every time I try, the controlpannel tells me to choose a monitor in the Win settings. There defenitely is a Monitor selected.

Any Ideas?

Lars, I assume that you're looking in display properties/settings/advanced to alter your settings. was your monitor detected correctly when you installed your matrox card?

Your monitor cannot be a "Plug and Play" in the monitor tab AFAIK. Your specific monitor has to be selected.

Hello,

sorry, one Point I forgott. This all happens under Win2k.

My Monitor wasn't detected during the Installation of the Matrox driver, cause he is little bit to old for supporting DDC. So the Monitor is manually selected.

In the meentime I tried this with several monitor-model-profiles.

As far as i know this is a bug in driver relaese's. First you have to add a monitor in devicemanager. I don't know if Win2K give you the possibility to do this.
I installed my monitor "IIyama Vision Master Pro 450" in device manager and afterwards I was able to choose the monitor in matrox software.

I am referring to win2k, too, Lars.

Just change your windows monitor to the one you have, and have fun changing your customizations.
