I use the latest NT4 driver from the Matrox FTP site and don't have any problems at all. You may want to read the README.NT or README.TXT that ships with the new drivers. >Can someone tell me how to get the original driver back? This is a bit tricky. First you need to install the standard VGA driver, and switch to it. Reboot. Now, using the install set for your current driver as a guide, manually delete the obvious MGA.SYS-type files from your WINNT\SYSTEM32 and all points south. Reboot. Now install the drivers from the CD. This is needed as the install stuff for the Matrox drivers won't install old versions over new ones, so you have to hose the new ones yourself. Hope this helps -------------------------------------------- *** rand-o-sig : stack overflow : 0214:4fd5 *** please report to rand-o-sig@globular.com --------------------------------------------
