  • PIPES screensaver (openGL) and G400max

    found several posts related to the openGL
    pipes screen saver problem (although my system doesn't actually lock up) The problem
    started several weeks ago by itself. i have made no new hardware or software updates.
    Now, I noticed with this paticular screensaver that if i have the "multiple"
    option selected , it runs real sloooowwww !
    like a fraction of a second delay between each pipe segment. if i select the "single"
    option, it runs normal speed but there are horizontal lines through each segment ????
    I seems to run ok if i turn hardware accelaration down about halfway , but I shouldn't (never had to before) have to do that. Anybody else having similar opengl screensaver problems with WIN2K ? Is this a sign that my matrox card is going bad or some other hardware going bad ?
    Thanks,
