  • NT installation goes horribly wrong


    Hi all,

    I tried to install a G400 Max Dual Head in VGA mode on my Dell XPS D300, NT 4.0 sp6, 128megRam, AGP machine, and the installation CD kept hanging in mid-installation.

    I put my old card back in (stb 128/4meg AGP), and NT booted into 800X600 resolution. When I tried to change the display settings, I was already at the maximum resolution, and when I went to display properties/change to reload the old drivers, the change button froze, and the processor displayed 100% use until I killed rundll32.exe with an "end task"

    I called Dell and they simply told me to reload NT. I have 15 gigs of a 34 gig drive loaded, and it would take me the better part of 2 months to just "reload NT" on this machine.

    Is there some way to get back to my old card working, and even better, is there some way to get the Matrox card to work ? I downloaded the latest drivers from the Matrox site, and tried installing from the HD....same problem....installation hangs in the middle.

    Jeez I wish these guys would try these NT drivers before they release them.
Working...
