  • PLEASE HELP ME HAIG!!

    I have a Matrox Millenium G200 8MB AGP

    Ever since the 4.51 drivers came out I have not been able to use them. After installing the 4.51 drivers when I reboot into windows a Blue Error Message from Windows comes up and then the screen is just garbled pixels.

    Updating the bios doesn't help.

    I have also gone through the thorough deletion of any Matrox files on the hard drive and in the registry, changing to VGA mode, then trying to install 4.51 again and this does not work either.

    I have contacted Matrox through e-mail but never get a response and the customer help can't help either.

    Right now I am using the Certified drivers, 4.33 and they seem to work ok for games like Quake 2 but I have to use the 3dWrapper. I want to use the ICD to play Quake 3, Tribes and be able to see underwater in Half Life, but these tasks also require the 4.51 drivers. CAN SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!!!!!

    Yes, your info-page should say:

    Model: Matrox Millenium G200 AGP
    Graphics Chip: Matrox G200

    You should choose this during install/setup, if not possible, go into device manager/graphics card/driver and choose upgrade. Then say "list all" and "have disc", then point to where you have extracted your 4.51 drivers and you'll get a complete list of Matrox cards. Now choose the Mill G200 AGP.

    Good luck!

      No, it should't.

      That is not a "true" Millenium.
      They have a 250Mhz RAMDAC, and SGRAM.

      Karl, go see my longer reply to your post in the gaming forum...

        Oh and something else! You should deffinately upgrade the Bios of your Matrox, as it's version 2.2 now. I think I read something about the card not being able to work with newer drivers, unless you also upgrade your Bios!
