This card will install like a dream, you have something else wrong. Have
you got a vga irq set in bios? Did you remove the old adapter's drivers
properly? Your motherboard hasn't got built in graphics has it - are the
jumpers correctly set? If all else fails reinstall win 95/98 then
install DX6.1 then the matrox drivers. I would get the latest (4.51
IIRC) from www.matroxusers.com and also the cards latest bios.
