MATROX G400 on NT4SP5 (200 if answered before 31/4/00)

I have a PIII667,MSI6353 Motherboard 128MB RAM and a Matrox G400, running NT4WS(SP5) From a clean install.... Nothing else on the computer!

I load the drivers from the CD and when I reboot I get the "background" screen for the driver install and nothing else... the computer doesn't crash but the new drivers dont load!

This happens on 3 identical computers !!!!

Regards
Maverick

PS - Yes, I know that on Matrox's tech support page they say to remove the drivers and then upgrade, but I've found it works better with Nt and drivers in general to not do so.

Thanks for the replies.
I've since found the solution, The G400 card has some compadibility problems with VIA chipset motherboards including the MSI6153, And also Gigabyte boards in general.

Incidently, I think its is service pack 5 before 6, but SP5 will go on ok without 4, In most cases.

Thanks



I think it may be better to send this one as a PAQ, At least someone may find this info helpful.

For 50 points it isn't worth hassling Customer Service.
