Having problems with hangs with G400:
Two weeks ago one suggested to delete the DOS drivers. That helped!!
Still having problems.
Requested help from MATROX Tech Support with following answer (see below):
Question is: Where do I find the Highpoint Xstore drivers?
Any help and/or suggestions, please let's know!!
Had same problem with GEFORCE 256,but with NVIDIA patch that problem is 100% resolved. Now it is MATROX turn!!
