  • G200 to G400 and DX7

    I have a G400 max "under the christmas tree".
    We will install it tomorrow.

    I now have a G200 with DX6 and the PD 5.30 drivers.

    Are there any problems with DX7 and either the G200 or G400? Should I install DX7 at all?

    In what order should I install DX7, the G400 and PD 5.41? (G400, PD 5.41, DX7 or some other sequence?)

    Thanks

    Grant

    I would do the following order:

    1. Use the matrox uninstaller. It will reboot and detect it as a std. pci vga card.

    2. install dx7

    3. swap the g200 for g400

    4. reboot, still keeping it as a std pci vga card.

    5. install PD 5.41.

      Hi Grant,

      My systems runs the G400 DH Max with DirectX7A and the Matrox Driver 5.41 without any problems.
      After having installed the original Matrox drivers (5.25 on my CD), I updated it with 5.41. Afterwards I updated DirectX6 with 7A and I experienced no problems at all. ... should work though...

      Cheerio,

      Jack
