  • Can't start OGl under PD 5.25 HELP.

    Can't start OGl after insalling PD 5.25 on my Win'98 SE machine. I don't overclock my G400SH & don't use undocumental registery key. HELP!!! How I can see OGL?

    PS Sorry for my English, I'm from RUSSIA.

    PPS Under PD 5.15 OGl working nice but very slowly.

    Can you post your machine specs? If you can tell us what kind of motherboard you are using and what drivers you are using for it then we might be able to give you a few hints.

        What programs are you trying to get Ogl to work in? For Quake and Quake2 you will probably have to go into the directories and delete the opengl32.dll files that are in there. Most other games aren't set up like this so you should just be able to set the game to OGl in the games settings. The powerdesk install copies the correct one into the Windows directory which is what the programs will default to if it can't find it in it's own directory.

            What colour depth is your desktop set at? Should be 16 or 32 not 24.

                Okay, after looking back over what you've said about your system, I have a few more suggestions. You say that you have and SBLive. It may be that you are having the imfamous SBLive G200/400 IRQ conflict. Make sure that the cards aren't using the same IRQ. The SBLive should be using IRQ 5 or something like that and the G400 should be using 10 or above. You may have to force this in the BIOS. Also, if you aren't playing any old DOS games then you can and probably should disable the sb16 emulation( it can be found in the control panels/system. Also, and I could be wrong on this, but I don't recall Matrox itself ever releasing the 5.15 drivers to the public. I think that they were a beta incriment of the drivers. If you can't get the 5.25 drivers to work then try the 5.13 drivers. Also I think I read somewhere on one of the other boards that Matrox is supposed to be releasing the 5.30 drivers sometime this later this month(don't quote me on that though).
                Hope that helps.
