g450 will not install on Win 2k or ME, card is not even recognized! both w2k & me were clean installs on freshly formatted hd. had to wipe me cos of all the problems trying to get this card working.
sys is:
soyo 5ema+ mb
256mb memory
k-6 III+ cpu @450mz
8.4 gig western digital hd
digital research 36x cd-rom
aopen 12x 10x 32x cdrw
aopen fm56-sm soft pci modem on com3.
bios is enabled for agp 2x.
win 2000
directx 8.1a
via 4 in 1 drivers v1.29 [also tried supposed Soyo Matrox Fix, ETEQ414]
latest MB bios
latest g450 bios
had previously a g200 agp with no problems
problem is:
after installing card boot to w2k.
2k does not recognize card in display settings but does recognize new hardware. runs new hardware wizard. attempts to install new driver after usual bs about driver not being certified, etc. during install screen blanks and sys re boots. no power desk or recognization by w2k of card. I than using utility form matrox web site un install drivers. I have tried installing drivers that were with cd that came with card. also have tried installing 5.51 and 5.52 for w2k after of course running un install for drivers.
when checking display:settings:advanced:adapter roperties:resources:cnflicting device list I see the following
Input/Output Range 03B0 - 03BB used by:
VIA CPU to AGP Controller
Input/Output Range 03C0 - 03DF used by:
VIA CPU to AGP Controller
Memory Range 000A0000 - 000BFFFF used by:
VIA CPU to AGP Controller
this is very much starting to look like a mb specific/chipset caused problem. course I really do not know enough to diagnosis and fix problem. there is next to nothing in matrox manual or on web site. what is on soyo site is so useless as to be pathetic.
any help will be greatly appreciated.
