Problems with Windows 2000 pro 2195 and Matrox G400, please
This is a discussion about Problems with Windows 2000 pro 2195 and Matrox G400, please in the Windows Hardware category; ok I installed Win2k pro 2195 and all works fine. I checked IRQs and vga adapter is on 9 and the other stuff is on other numbers. I also noticed that my computer was installed as standard pc instead of ACPI.
ok I installed Win2k pro 2195 and all works fine. I checked IRQs and vga adapter is on 9 and the other stuff is on other numbers. I also noticed that my computer was installed as standard pc instead of ACPI. Should I change it to ACPI? I went to run the win2k setup for the 5.03 drivers and it came up with a message that the drivers did not have a microsoft digital signature etc and would i like to continue install. I did and the rebooted, i then got the win2000 startup screen that shows the progress bar etc then after that was finished i just get a black screen. set IRQ for VGA is set in the bios as I had win98 installed on the computer before formating and installing win2k. Please help guys. Also I noticed that I cant change the monitor. the properties tab is greyed out. I have win2k drivers for my monitor and wanted to install them. thx

If you have a PCI device in slot 1 you have to remove it. (full stop).
ACPI doesn't work on FIC SS7 boards. Some bits will work, the IRQ routing won't and the com ports won't, even with the newest bios'.
OP
well I dont have ACPI installed and nothing is in the 1st pci slot

Probably the drivers your using have enabled AGP, which is shaky to say the least. Try diabling AGP in DXDIAG.EXE, or else use an older driver that may not be at that stage yet. The alternative is to use NT4 drivers for ddraw and opengl at least. Thats a problem I've had with my TNT for ages, and only recently sussed out.
I assuming your PCI slot 1 is next to the AGP port by the way
The monitor selection thing will become usable when (if) you get out of VGA mode.
goodluck
