Only a bad dream, I'm afraid.... :(

To be honest, I really haven't the time for such a massive reinstall. It
took me forever to get my network card to work and I don't fancy going
through the palaver all over again just for one measly card.

I've installed the latest Matrox bios. I've tried (under instruction)
three versions of their software drivers. I've done more uninstalling,
rebooting and installing than I'd care to recollect. I've been in the
BIOS of the card and the motherboard and still *nothing*. I've wasted a
day farting around with this card and my patience is wearing very thin.

It's a virtually new Dell. AGP graphics were working just fine with the
Diamond card and as far as I'm concerned, unless Matrox tech support get
off their arses and answer some of the emails I've sent them, I'm taking
the thing back for good.
