    Matrox Marvel G200 Problem with Windows XP

    Let's see. Where do I begin?... I installed XP SP1 on my Machine and installed power desk, 2kxp_588061.exe. If I use my computer from 30min to an 2 hours what almost always happens is my screen becomes suddenly garbled while I am working on some program like internet explorer. I am able to turn it off properly only because I remember the sequence of key strokes to do it.

    I have tried the previous drivers for my mystique to no avail. Alas, I switched video cards (Matrox Marvel G200), updated the cards BIOS and cursed the day I upgraded to Windows XP. Sometimes my computer will suddenly without warning turn off.

    Is there any way around this? I have looked around and no one else seems to have this problem. Are there any other drivers that I can use?

    Someone please respond to this because I'm going nuts dealing with this.

          If you search this forum (last two months) you can find many useful information about it.
          All I can say you-mine system XP +SP1 works like Adis promised

              Does someone want to write up a faq for this and I'll move it to the faq files?

                      I have switched to the matrox mystique and still the same problem.

                          If you take my advice - forget it. I have a g200 marvel, and have posted to this group on several occasions about using the g200 marvel under winxp.

                          The adis drivers seem effective on the g400 marvel only. I have taken to dual booting and running under win98se. You need a separate drive to your boot drive to capture to anyway, so you will always have at least two drives if you are serious about capturing anyway.

                          this is just my opinion, but if you want to save yourself the kind of time I wasted on this, consider what I have said.

                          Hope this helps,

                              How can I just have the display (with TV out) be stable though?
