No combination of mystique drivers will fix it! Matrox has been seems
to really want to hide this problem that many folks have.  Dearch
Dejanews or Altavista.

The buusmastering one is solvable, The card isn't getting an IRQ. You
may need to enable updates and recobfigure your BIOS to get one
assignes or try their irqset utility.

The killer is "display adapter not working".I found a post in a uk
group and tried it. So far it has solved my problems.

I installed the USB drivers even though I have no USB devices. This
update clearly changes a ton of stuff in Win95b.

The biggerst problem is many folks don't have OSR2.1 which has the USB
drivers. 2.0 does not. MS rewfuses to makwe it available even thought
you have to have OSR2 to use it!

You may find it if you searct the web but I'm not certain.

gerry
