G400 and XP

Hi,

I upgraded my system to XP and it keeps on crashing due to G400
driver. I tried latest certified drivers (5.91, 5.86) but problem
remain same. Even XP supplied driver (5.1) crashes.

I been using G400 with Windows 2000 from long time and never had any
problem.

My System is:

Epox 8RDA+ with Athon XP
Matrox G400

I searched newgroup and can see that many other are also facing same
problem without any concrete resoulution. I am suprised to see that
Matrox support is of absolutely no help (see Matrox forum).

Any inputs?

Regards,
Yusuf

I'm using a G400 with WinXP and have been for over a year. I don't have any
problems.

I am using WinXP plus SP1

My G400 drivers are version 5.88.061

I don't play games. Are your problems in 3D games?

I've installed G450's on three different systems recently--all with
v5.86.32, the latest certified driver--and none are giving any problems.
Try removing and reseating the video card making sure firmly and evenly
seated in the AGP slot. If this checks out and there's no improvement, I'd
start looking elsewhere. Why do you blame the G400 for the instability?

I do not think it is a problem with AGP slot or with card as card is
running fine with Win2K and Linux. XP also runs stable when Matrox
G400 driver are removed (off course in low resolution mode). All
problem starts when installing Matrox driver.

Yusuf

I'm also using XP and G400 Max with the drivers that came with XP.
Everything works great, so haven't bothered with drivers from Matrox
site yet.

I had the problem with a g400 max and w2k. Whenever I started the
computer, it would get to the desktop and the mouse pointer would
freeze. I'm not sure how I solved it, but I think I found an older
g400 driver for it and that did the trick. I think the problem might
be specific to the individual's motherboard as I have a g400 max
installed on another machine running W2k without a problem.
